Study of the chemical enrichment in a massive hot cooling-flow cluster

Clusters of galaxies are excellent laboratories for the study of thenucleosynthesis and chemical enrichment history of the Universe. These studiesare currently biased toward relatively cooler (24 keV) clusters. However, theenrichment history of the massive hot clusters might be different from that ofthe smaller and cooler systems. Therefore, we propose to enlarge the sample ofclusters observed with the RGS on XMMNewton with Abell 2029, a hot luminousmassive cluster with a cooling core. Despite of the high mass of this system,the cool gas in the core will allow us to measure the abundances of manyelements. A deep (130 ks) observation will provide us with EPIC and RGS spectraof excellent statistics, which allows us to accurately measure the abundances O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, and Ni. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
