ABSTRACT
We propose deep observations of two massive galaxy clusters, at redshifts of 1.84 and 1.03, to measure the metallicity of the ICM at very high redshifts. These data will definitively test the early enrichment scenario, in which most of the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium occurs before clusters form, during the period of maximal star formation and black hole activity, more than 10 Gyr ago. This scenario is supported by high-precision Suzaku measurements of a homogeneous iron distribution in the nearby Perseus cluster, extending to the virial radius. Our proposal will provide a direct and precise test of early enrichment, probing the spatial distribution of iron in our z=1.03 target and the overall, core-excised metallicity of one of the most luminous, distant clusters known.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
