One of the most interesting topics in the study of galaxy clusters is their formation and the physical phenomena that occur during cluster mergers. One of the great Chandra discoveries is the existence of two different types of sharp brightness edges: cold fronts and bow-shocks. In A2319, one of the brightest galaxy clusters, Chandra has observed a cold front and shock heated gas in the peripherical regions, indicating that it is probably a late stage merger. We propose an XMM-Newton observation of this cluster, in order to perform a detailed characterization of temperature and metal abundance structure of a late merger. More specifically, we plan to measure the metallicity profile across the cold front and the temperature of the shocked regions.
