Scientific paper

We propose ACIS observations for two X-ray bright merging clusters with the primary goal being to understand changes in the gas density, temperature, pressure, and entropy distribution of the ICM brought about through major mergers. The two clusters A98 and A1750 are in an early stage of subcluster interaction. For each cluster, we will generate maps of the gas density, temperature, entropy and pressure. We will search for surface brightness edges due to shocks or ``cold fronts'' and measure their Mach numbers. We will determine the extent of gas mixing. We will compare these results to the ICM properties in relaxed clusters to determine the impact of mergers on the cluster gas.
