The chemical evolution of galaxy clusters: Dissecting the iron mass budget of the intracluster medium
We study the chemical evolution of galaxy clusters by measuring the iron mass in the ICM after dissecting the abundance profiles into different components. We use Chandra archival observations of 186 morphologically regular clusters in the redshift range [0.04, 1.07]. For each cluster we compute the iron abundance and gas …
