The centrality dependence of thermal parameters, characterizing the hadronmultiplicities, is determined phenomenologically for lead-on-lead collisions atCERN-SPS for a beam energy of 158 AGeV. The strangeness equilibration factorshows a clear, approximately linear, increase with increasing centrality, whilethe freeze-out temperature and chemical potential remain constant.Comment: 3 pages, 2 tables, 5 figure
