First detailed metallicity map of a merging galaxy cluster: Abell 2319

We propose to observe the bright nearby merging cluster Abell 2319 whichexhibits an extended and powerful radio halo with an irregular morphology wellcorrelated with a strong asymmetry in its Xray brightness. With the requestedobservation we aim to: 1) derive the metallicity map in order to study the metaldistributions of a merging cluster up to the outer region; 2) compare thismetallicity map with those obtained from our simulations; 3) study thecorrelations between Xray, radio and optical properties and investigate thenature of the extended radio emission; 4) measure the relative abundance of ironwith respect to elements in order to constrain the relative fraction of Type IIand Type Ia SNe. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
