Scientific paper

We propose to make a 200 ks observation of the Centaurus cluster, Abell 3526, with Chandra. Our science goals include understanding a) the enrichment of the intracluster medium around the central galaxy, NGC4696, and the off-centred abundance peak in iron and other elements, b) the interaction of the radio source with that medium, c) the roles of heating and cooling of the gas, d) the degree to which gas is multiphase near the centre, and e) correlations with optical filaments and dust. The Centaurus cluster is an important and excellent target for these purposes owing to its luminosity, proximity, ideal temperature and high metallicity.
