We have analized XMM-Newton data of A2199, a nearby ($z\,=\,0.030$), relaxed, rich cluster of galaxies, whose X-ray emission is strongly peaked on the central galaxy, NGC6166, suggesting the existence of a cluster cool core (Peres et al. 1998). The background subtraction is performed using an observation characterized by features similar to those of the A2199 observation. We have selected, in the XMM-Newton archive, a field observation presenting the following properites:

[bull ] duration of about 90 ksec;

[bull ] performed with the same filter as the A2199 observation;

[bull ] characterized by a galactic HI column density and a soft X-ray background, the latter being calculated from the ROSAT All-Sky survey diffuse background maps, which differ from those of the A2199 observation ($N_H\,=\,8.7 \times 10^{19}\,\,{\rm cm}^{-2}, R_{45}\,=\,208.2 \times 10^{-6}\,\,{\rm cts/arcmin}^2$) by 3% and 30% respectively.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
