------=_Part_941_5134446.1188400254995 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Dear Colleague, - Please alert us to significant XMM-Newton results > I would like to point out the discovery of a cluster of galaxies behind the Milky Way: Cl 2334+48. Its line of sight passes through the avoidance zone prevented by extragalactic astronomers and emphasises the remarkable capability of the XMM to reveal new clusters of galaxies in that zone. It is the second cluster discovered this way by XMM (the other one was XMMU J183225.4-103645; Nevalainen et al. 2001). Please see Lopes de Oliveira et al. 2006, A&A, 459, 415 for details.

Dear Raimundo, thanks a lot for informing us about this interesting discovery. It is very unfortunate that we were not aware of it much earlier. Given the publication data 11/2006 and the fact that another object was already detected I have no hope the the public relation department will accept it for a release. Thanks again, Norbert Schartel (XMM-Newton Project Scientist)

I have received another email from Nora, about a possible image of the Cl 2334+48 in the Image Gallery. It will be a great pleasure put it in the XMM site. I will do it as soon as possible (+/- 1 month; unfortunately).

Dear Raimundo, thanks a lot. It is very important to get important images in the Image Gallery, such that they can be used by other scientists for talks and here are especially they are important for people who do not work in X-rays. Thank you very much in advance With best regards Norbert
