Scientific paper

We propose to observe three of the X-ray brightest clusters of galaxies yet to be observed by Chandra (the Hercules cluster, AWM4, and A2760). These clusters have been extendively studied in the past with radio and optical observations. Combining existing data sets with new Chandra observations we can investigate many of the long standing issues about cluster astrophysics. For example: 1) the systematic differences in gravitating masses derived from X-ray data, galaxy redshifts, and gravitation lensing, 2) the impact of cluster merging and the cluster environment on galaxy evolution and galaxy kinematics, 4) the chemical enrichment history of the hot gas as inferred from the distribution of heavy elements and galaxies, and 5) the temperature structure of the central gas.
