Simulated X-ray cluster temperature maps
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 00:33 authored by Lesley I Onuora, Scott T Kay, Peter ThomasPeter ThomasTemperature maps are presented of the nine largest clusters in the mock catalogues of Muanwong et al. for both the Preheating and Radiative models. The maps show that clusters are not smooth, featureless systems, but contain a variety of substructure which should be observable. The surface brightness contours are generally elliptical and features that are seen include cold clumps, hot spiral features and cold fronts. Profiles of emission-weighted temperature, surface brightness, density and pressure across the surface brightness discontinuities seen in one of the bimodal clusters are consistent with the cold front in Abell 2142 observed by Markevitch et al.
