  We have analyzed an XMM-Newton observation of the cluster Abell 2589. Apart
from a low-level asymmetry in the central region, the cluster appears very
relaxed and does not show presence of a central AGN. We derived constraints for
the radial temperature, density and, assuming hydrostatic equilibrium, mass
profiles. We find that the best fit to the dark matter profile is given by the
Sersic-like profile proposed by Navarro et al. (2004). The NFW model does not
provide a good fit. We also tested whether the central stellar component could
affect the profile through the adiabatic contraction model but were unable to
distinguish it from a simple "dark matter + stars" modeling.
