XMM-observation of the massive SZ-effect cluster RXCJ2228+2037

RXCJ2228+2037 at a redshift of z0.42 is an ideal target for the study of theSZeffect at intermediate redshifts. It was discovered as one of the mostluminous clusters in the northern sky in the ROSAT based NORAS cluster survey.Subsequently we have obtained an SZ map with the Nobeyama radio telescope at21 GHz. Further mm observations with IRAM are scheduled. With the proposedobservation we like to study the structure of the intracluster medium to jointly model the combined Xray and SZ observation to obtain tight constraints on the three dimensional cluster structure. We are in particularinterested to establish this cluster as a test object for arcmin size SZobservations in the northern sky. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
