A Chandra observation of the non-cooling flow cluster A 1060 has confirmed that the hot intracluster medium has fairly uniform distributions of temperature and metal abundance from a radius of about 230 kpc to the central 5 kpc region (H-0 = 75 km s(-1) Mpc(-1)). The radial temperature profile shows a broad peak at 30-40 kpc from the center at a level similar to20% higher than that in the outer region. Assuming spatially uniform temperature and abundance distributions, we derived a 3-dimensional density structure by iteratively correcting the beta model, and obtained the central gas density to be 8.2(-1.0)(+1.8) x 10(-3) cm(-3). The distribution of gravitational mass was estimated from the density profile, and a central concentration of mass within a radius of 50 kpc was indicated. The data also suggest several high-abundance regions. The most significant blob adjacent to the central galaxy NGC3311 has a radius of about 9 kpc, which indicates a metallicity of similar to1.5 solar. We consider that this blob may be produced by the gas stripped off from NGC3311.
