Scientific paper

We propose to continue our programme of deep RGS observations by observing one of the X-ray brightest groups in the sky, NGC5044, and the highly-luminous, high star formation rate cluster Zw3146. We will observe NGC5044 to measure the strength of the emission lines from the X-ray coolest gas (eg OVII measuring gas below 3 MK). We will limit or measure the mass deposition rate in Zw3146 with high accuracy to a value close to the star formation rate. These objects will be added to an existing successful programme, spanning a large range in temperature and mass, to make definitive statements about the range of temperature in clusters and the level of cooling. These observations will exploit the unique capability of the RGS, and build on one of XMM's major discoveries.
