Large Scale ICM Properties of the Centaurus Cluster

Nearby galaxy clusters present a unique opportunity to study the spatialvariation of the physical properties of the ICM and they also provide templatesto test the biases introduced by simplifications used in the analysis of moredistant clusters. Centaurus stands out as the optimal choice for such analysisin its category, due to its brightness &/ proximity. We propose 4 shortpointings that, together with the central archived ones, will allow us to map SNType enrichment, gas bulk velocities, and other ICM physical parameters up tovirgul0.35 of its virial radius. This analysis will address several current issues,such as the excess SN Ia pollution in the outer cluster regions and the currentinteraction with the incoming group Cen 45. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
