Scientific paper

ASCA revealed that many clusters of galaxies exhibit a metal abundance increment at the center of clusters of galaxies. BeppoSAX, Chandra, and Newton have also confirmed it. The mass and abundance ratio of excess metals indicate that these were produced by recent SNe Ia in the central galaxies and ejected into the intracluster space. Therefore, we are just seeing the metal ejection from galaxies. Here, we propose to observe a poor cluster of galaxies MKW4 with high stellar to ICM mass ratio at the cluster center, in order to map the Fe with 4''×4'' resolution and study the processes of metal enrichments in the intracluster medium.
