The gas distribution in the outer regions of galaxy clusters

The gas distribution in the outer regions of galaxy clusters

We present the analysis of a local (z = 0.04 - 0.2) sample of 31 galaxy clusters with the aim of measuring the density of the X-ray emitting gas in cluster outskirts. We compare our results with numerical simulations to set constraints on the azimuthal symmetry and gas clumping in …
