Scientific paper

The next major step in our understanding of the hydrodynamics of cluster evolution will come from 2-dimensional abundance maps: unobtainable with ASCA but inevitable with AXAF. We propose A3266 as an ideal cluster in which to study a merging system using 2-dimension temperature and abundance maps obtained with the ACIS-I. Recent optical studies show a huge "tidal arm and remarkable velocity substructure". ASCA observations suggest that it is in the midst of a spectacular merger.
