SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL 41277 DR ISAMU HATSUKADE MIYAZAKI UNIVERSITY MIYAZAKI JAPAN 889-21 MIYAZAKI 1-1 GAKUEN-KIBANADAI-NISHI E-mail: HATUKADE@ASTRO.MIYAZAKI-U.AC.JP Tel: 0985-58-2867 Fax: 0985-55-3058 Medium: 4GBDAT Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS Title: ASCA OBSERVATIONS OF GROUP OF GALAXIES IN ROSAT SURVEY Abstract: Poor clusters and rich clusters have similar iron abundance about 0.3 solar, while groups of galaxies have very low iron abundance about 0.1. This difference may be the result of different star formation history. The ratio of silicon and iron abundance is the key parameter to show the contribution of SNIa and SNII. We propose to observe two groups of galaxies, RXJ1736.4+6804 and RXJ1755.8+6236 to determine this parameter. Co-Is: 1 HITOSHI HANAMI IWATE UNIV. JAPAN (No Co-I contact data) 2 NOBUO ARIMOTO UNIV.
