XMM survey of the Fornax cluster up to 0.3 of the virial radius

Groups of galaxies and poor clusters of galaxies are best laboratories forstudying history of the universe. The Fornax cluster is the nearest (about 20Mpc) poor cluster with the smallestiron masstolight ratio. In order to studytemperature, entropy and metal distribution and constrain metal enrichment andthermal history in the intracluster medium, we propose to survey the Fornaxcluster up to 0.3 times of the virial radius.
