An XMM-Newton view of a sample of z=0.2-0.3 clusters
Abstract
We have analyzed a sample of five clusters of galaxies with redshifts between 0 223 and 0 313 and derived temperature metallicity pressure and entropy maps These maps show that at least three clusters are undergoing or have undergone a merging process not always visible from the X-ray emission map alone They are therefore a very useful tool to discuss the cluster history and in particular to understand whether these clusters are in a pre-merging or post-merging phase
