Description

We report results of Einstein Solid State Spectrometer observations of the central region of Abell 576. We detected line emission due to Fe, Si and S from a hot (approximately 2.1070K) plasma in the central region. The temperature of the total cluster spectrum seems hotter than the central temperature. This difference can be explained either if cooling takes place in the center, either if part of the measured emission is due to individual galaxies. If the X-ray emission comes from the intergalactic gas only, there is some difficulties to reproduce all silicon observed by the galaxies of A 576
