ABSTRACT
Currently, the largest complete local X-ray cluster sample with full high quality X-ray coverage is HIFLUGCS. Its selection is based on the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and complete X-ray follow-up has been performed with Chandra and XMM-Newton, resulting in numerous applications in cluster physics and cosmology. The combination of high completeness, large sample size, and high quality follow-up has been crucial for this wide applicability. Here, we propose a sixfold increase in sample size with a new complete high quality sample of ~400 clusters, eeHIFLUGCS. We demonstrate that this sample constitutes the ultimate step before eROSITA and that this significantly increased statistics will enable substantial (factor ~3) improvements in precision as well as qualitatively new tests.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
