Scientific paper

We propose to observe the galaxy NGC4594 with ACIS-S to determine the properties of the diffuse emission within this galaxy. Presumably, the diffuse emission arises from hot gas and we will determine its density and temperature distributions. Based on the observed surface brightness profile and gas temperature, we can determine the kinematic state of the interstellar medium (i.e., a cooling flow, partial wind, or strong wind), the abundance of heavy elements, and the total gravitating mass of the galaxy. In addition, we will study the source populations in the galaxy.
