Scientific paper

Nearby galaxy clusters present a unique opportunity to study the spatial variation of the physical properties of the ICM and they also provide templates to test the biases introduced by simplifications used in the analysis of more distant clusters. Centaurus stands out as the optimal choice for such analysis in its category, due to its brightness & proximity. We propose 4 short pointings that, together with the central archived ones, will allow us to map SN Type enrichment, gas bulk velocities, and other ICM physical parameters up to ~0.35 of its virial radius. This analysis will address several current issues, such as the excess SN Ia pollution in the outer cluster regions and the current interaction with the incoming group Cen 45.
