Scientific paper

Recent work find evidence of an increase of the Iron abundance in clusters with temperatures below 5 keV, up to a value about 3 times larger than that typical of very hot clusters. This behaviour is likely related to fundamental processes of metal production and release in low-temperature objects. From spatially-unresolved ASCA metallicity measurements, we select 9 clusters with Z>0.6 Z_odot. For none of these, apart from one, is possibile to recover the metal abundance profile with the available data. We aim to make proper use of XMM-Newton to resolve spatially the metal distribution in the central regions of the 3 brightest objects never resolved spatially before.
