Scientific paper

We propose a Chandra ACIS-S observation of the cluster of galaxies A2124. The redshift of A2124 is z=0.066, which is the lowest among the clusters showing strong lensing arcs. The strong lensing arc of A2124 is located at about 27''(=46h(-1) kpc) from the cluster center. Chandra observations will provide the X-ray emission profile and the gas temperature in the core region of the cluster for the first time and will also provide the gravitational mass profile, under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. Because the projected mass of the matter within the arc is determined from the arc radius, we will be able to examine and construct the detailed mass profile of the cluster. A2124 provides us with an exceptional opportunity for such study.
