Scientific paper

Nearby galaxy clusters present a unique opportunity to study the spatial variation of the physical properties of the ICM and they also provide templates to test the biases introduced by simplifications used in the analysis of more distant clusters. Centaurus stands out as an optimal choice for such analysis, due to its brightness, proximity, and ubiquitous physical properties. We propose 2 short pointings that, together with other archived ones, will allow us to fully map gas temperatures, SN Type enrichment, and other physical parameters up to ~0.3 of its virial radius. This will provide fundamental clues as to the nature of metal enrichment mechanisms in cold clusters.
