A BeppoSAX observation of the cooling flow cluster Abell 2029.

MOLENDI S. and DE GRANDI S.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present results from a BeppoSAX observation of the cooling flow cluster Abell 2029. The broad band spectrum (2-35keV) of the cluster, when fitted with a model including a cooling flow component and a one temperature thermal component, yields a temperature of 8.3±0.2keV and a metal abundance of 0.46±0.03 in solar units, for the latter. No evidence of a hard X-ray excess is found in the PDS spectrum. By performing a spatially resolved spectral analysis we find that the projected temperature and abundance drop with increasing radius, going from ∼8keV and 0.5 (solar units) at the cluster core to ∼5keV and 0.2 (solar units) at about 1.2Mpc.
