MAPPING OBSERVATION OF DYNAMICAL STRUCTURES IN THE PERSEUS CLUSTER

Xray mapping of the Perseus cluster, the brightest cluster in the Xray sky,with XMMNewton is the most effective way to study physics of cluster dynamics.In the east region of this cluster, ASCA showed remarkable temperature featuresincluding an enormous cool region bounded by a hot ridge in the east, which ismost possibly caused by a subcluster merger. We propose 7 pointings (including 2pointings of AO2/PriC) for a total of 140 ksec to cover most of the unobservedregions in the Perseus cluster, which will give us a detailed view about the gasheating process and metal distribution. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
