We included in the analysis a new EPIC-pn energy scale calibration which allow us to measure velocities with uncertainties down to $\\Delta v \\sim 150$ km/s. We investigate the radial distribution of O, Ne, Mg, Si, Ar, S, Ca, Ni and Fe. We found that the best-fit 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 $\\sim30$~kpc and $\\sim90$~kpc, which correspond to the radius of the cold fronts. We modeled 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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-08T19:01:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "virgo cluster", "radial profiles", "chemical enrichment", "modeled elemental x/fe ratio profiles", "radial distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
