ABUNDANCE GRADIENTS IN COOLING FLOW CLUSTERS - GINGA LARGE-AREA COUNTERS AND EINSTEIN SOLID-STATE SPECTROMETER SPECTRA OF A496, A1795, A2142, AND A2199
Re. White et al., ABUNDANCE GRADIENTS IN COOLING FLOW CLUSTERS - GINGA LARGE-AREA COUNTERS AND EINSTEIN SOLID-STATE SPECTROMETER SPECTRA OF A496, A1795, A2142, AND A2199, The Astrophysical journal, 433(2), 1994, pp. 583-601
We analyze the Ginga LAC and Einstein SSS spectra of four cooling flow
clusters, A496, A1795, A2142, and A2199, each of which shows firm evi
dence of a relatively cool component. The inclusion of such cool spect
ral components in joint fits of SSS and LAC data leads to somewhat hig
her global temperatures than are derived from the high-energy LAC data
alone. We find little evidence of cool emission outside the SSS field
of view. Metal abundances appear to be centrally enhanced in all four
clusters, with varying degrees of model dependence and statistical si
gnificance: the evidence is statistically strongest for A496 and A2142
, somewhat weaker for A2199 and weakest for A1795. We also explore the
model dependence in the amount of cold, X-ray absorbing matter discov
ered in these clusters by White et al.
