Scientific paper

We propose to observe the bright nearby merging cluster Abell 2319 which exhibits an extended and powerful radio halo with an irregular morphology well correlated with a strong asymmetry in its X-ray brightness. With the requested observation we aim to: 1) derive the metallicity map in order to study the metal distributions of a merging cluster up to the outer region; 2) compare this metallicity map with those obtained from our simulations; 3) study the correlations between X-ray, radio and optical properties and investigate the nature of the extended radio emission; 4) measure the relative abundance of iron with respect to elements in order to constrain the relative fraction of Type II and Type Ia SNe.
