Massive stars and the intergalactic medium
Abstract
We review the results of an X-ray (ASCA) survey of intergalactic medium metallicities in 33 groups and clusters of galaxies. The observed picture could be explained either by adopting top heavy IMF for galaxies observed at high environment overdensities or by metal- rich SN II driven winds.
