ARE THE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURE FORMATION SEEN IN THE CENTRAL METALLICITY OF GALAXY CLUSTERS?

A sample of 46 nearby clusters observed with Chandra is analyzed to produce radial density, temperature, entropy, and metallicity profiles, as well as other morphological measurements. The entropy profiles are computed to larger radii than in previous Chandra cluster sample analyses. We find that th...
