ASCA Temperature Maps for Several Interesting Clusters and Their Interpretations
Abstract
We present ASCA temperature maps for several galaxy clusters with strong mergers, as well as for several relaxed clusters selected for X-ray mass determination. From the merger temperature maps, we estimate velocities of the colliding subunits and discuss several implications of these estimates. For the relaxed clusters, we derive unprecedentedly accurate mass and gas fraction profiles out to radii of overdensity approximately 500.
