对非冷却流团A1060的Chandra观测证实，从半径约230 kpc到中心5 kpc区域（H_0= 75 km/s/Mpc），团内热介质具有相当均匀的温度和金属丰度分布。径向温度分布在距中心30-40 kpc处有一个宽峰，比外围高20%左右。在假定温度和丰度空间分布均匀的情况下，通过迭代修正β模型，得到了中心气体密度为8.2^{+1.8}_{-1.0} x 10^{-3} cm^{-3}。根据密度分布图估计了引力质量的分布，并指出在50千秒差距半径内有一个质量集中的中心。这些数据还显示了几个高丰度区域。靠近中央星系NGC 3311的最显著的斑点半径约为9千秒差距，这表明其金属丰度约为1.5太阳能。我们认为这个斑点可能是由NGC 3311剥离的气体产生的。
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/Mpc). The radial temperature profile shows a broad peak at 30-40 kpc from the center at a level ~20% 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^{+1.8}_{-1.0} 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 NGC 3311 has a radius of about 9 kpc, which indicates a metallicity of ~1.5 solar. We consider that this blob may be produced by the gas stripped off from NGC 3311.
