Abstract
We present preliminary results of imaging and spectral analysis of the cluster A496 with the S3 chip on-board the Chandra satellite. We confirm the presence of a cooling flow and radial gradients in elemental abundances. The cluster's core has clear signs of substructures (sharp edges, cavities), similar to those recently found in other cooling flow clusters. The O/Fe ratio distribution indicates that the gas in the core of the cluster is significantly enriched by SN Ia ejecta.
