Özet


The presence of gravitational potential well is of a great help in preserving all metals synthesized by star formation and supernova explosions within the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of the galaxy cluster and hence recording the chemical enrichment history. Measuring these metal abundances from low signal to noise regions, namely clusters outskirts, is possible with current X-ray missions. In this work, we review the searches on the metal abundances which were detected in the clusters outskirts and strong evidences on the possible early enrichment scenario where the mixing and dispersion of these metals into the ICM took place before the clusters formation (z > 2-3). We also present our latest joint Suzaku and XMM-Newton analysis on intermediate redshift Abell 2667 (z ~ 0.23) galaxy cluster and compare these results with our current study.
