We investigate the spatial relationships between multi-phase gas components and supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity in a sample of 25 cool core galaxy groups and clusters. Using high angular resolution observations from…

The recent {\em ASCA} results show that the iron abundance of the X-ray gas of elliptical galaxies is less than the solar abundance ($Z_{\sun}$). The observed low iron abundance is inconsistent with the predictions of the previous chemical…
