Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS                      
  Title: STUDY OF THE METAL-POOR GAS IN THE POOR GROUP OF GALAXIES HCG97                 


Abstract:
 ASCA has detected unusually low metal abundance in the hot gas in poor groups of
 galaxies, such as NGC2300 and HCG62. The proposed target, HCG97, is a bright group
 of galaxies for which very low abundance is suggested from ROSAT PSPC measurements.
 This observation aims to find the cause of the low metal abundance based on the
 precise information on the gass mass and gravitational mass of the system. The hot
 gas features around elliptical and spiral galaxies would also tell us how the
 intracluster space is enriched with the gas ejected from galaxies.
