Scientific paper

The formation for clusters of galaxies and evolution provide insight into not only how such large objects are formed but also into cosmology. Identifying clusters in the early stages of a merger will provide constraints on the early stages of N-body/hydrodynamical simulations of merging clusters. Measurable parameters such as galaxy positions and velocities, X-ray centers, surface brightness profiles of the gas, and temperature structure of the interacting gas are all key quantities for determining the accuracy of such simulations. Mapping the temperature distribution is especially important since the hydrodynamics in cluster simulations are their most uncertain aspect. In this proposal, we request a 50 ksec exposure of two double systems Abell~222/Abell 223, and Abell 98 N/S.
