Modelling increased metal production in galaxy clusters with pair-instability supernovae

Galaxy clusters contain much more metal per star, typically three times as much, than is produced in normal galaxies. We set out to determine what changes are needed to the stellar mass function and supernovae rates to account for this excess metal. In particular, we vary the Type Ia supernovae rate...
