Metallicity Gradients in the Intracluster Gas of Abell 496
Analysis of spatially resolved ASCA spectra of the intracluster gas in Abell 496 confirms there are mild metal abundance enhancements near the center, as previously found by White et al. (1994) in a joint analysis of Ginga LAC and Einstein SSS spectra. Simultaneous analysis of spectra from all ASCA instruments (SIS + GIS) shows that the iron abundance is 0.36 ± 0.03 solar 3− 12′ from the center...
متن کاملChandra Analysis of Abell 496 - No Chemical Gradients Across Cold
We present the results of a spatially-resolved spectroscopic analysis of the galaxy cluster Abell 496 with the S3 chip on-board the Chandra satellite. We confirm the presence of a central positive temperature gradient consistent with a cooling flow, but with a minimum gas temperature of ∼0.5–0.9 keV. The cluster also exhibits sharp edges in gas density and temperature which are consistent with ...
متن کاملImplications of Abundance Gradients in Intracluster Gas
Analysis of spatially resolved ASCA spectra of the intracluster gas in Abell 496 confirms that metal abundances increase toward the center. We also find spatial gradients in several abundance ratios, indicating that the fraction of iron from SN Ia increases toward the cluster center and that the dominant metal enrichment mechanism near the center must be different than in the outer parts.
متن کاملChandra Analysis of Abell 496
We present preliminary results of imaging and spectral analysis of the cluster A496 with the S3 chip on-board the Chandra satellite. We confirm the presence of a cooling flow and radial gradients in elemental abundances. The cluster’s core has clear signs of substructures (sharp edges, cavities), similar to those recently found in other cooling flow clusters. The O/Fe ratio distribution indicat...
