Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the elemental abundances distribution of the Virgo cluster using XMM–Newton observations. We included in the analysis a new EPIC-pn energy scale calibration which allow us to measure velocities with uncertainties down to Δv ∼150 km s−1. We investigate the radial distribution of O, Ne, Mg, Si, Ar, S, Ca, Ni, and Fe. We found that the best-fitting model is close to a single-temperature component for distances >80 kpc and the cooler gas is more metal rich. Discontinuities in temperature are found around ∼30 and ∼90 kpc, which correspond to the radius of the cold fronts. We modelled elemental X/Fe ratio profiles with a linear combination of SNIa and SNcc models. We found a flat radial distribution of SNIa ratio over the total cluster enrichment, which supports an early ICM enrichment scenario, with most of the metals present being produced prior to clustering.
