[74.02] ASCA Spectroscopy of the Cooling Flow Cluster Abell 85

Andrea Prestwich (SAO), Stewart Daines (UC Berkley)

We have obtained ASCA (SIS and GIS) X-ray spectra of the cooling flow cluster Abell 85. Using the limited spatial resolution of ASCA, we have obtained SIS spectra within the cooling region and outside the cooling radius. We find that multiple temperature components are required within the cooling region, and discuss evidence for excess absorption.
