Abstract: We study the physical properties of three clusters of galaxies, selected from the Bep-poSAX Wide Field Camera (WFC) survey. We obtained XMM-Newton follow-up observations for these three clusters and fit emission models to spectra obtained from the EPIC-pn. We determine the temperature, as well as the radial Fe abundances profiles. Two clusters were affected by an enhanced soft-proton background. Despite of this, we are able to classify one cluster as a cool-core cluster (kT∼3.0 keV) and a another as non-cool-core cluster (kT 8.2 keV). The dimmest cluster was not classified, and has a temperature of 3.2 keV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
