3 Nov 2000 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | 10) ( CEA/Sap Saclay, France, IAS Orsay, France, CEA/SEI Saclay, France, ESA/ESTEC Noordwijk, Netherlands, MPE Garching, Germany ESA/SOC Madrid, Spain IFC/CNR Milano, Italy, Mullard Space Science Laboratory, UK, Univ. of California, Santa Barb | | Abstract: | We present a temperature map and a temperature profile of the central part (r < 20’ or 1/4 virial radius) of the Coma cluster. We combined 5 overlapping pointings made with XMM/EPIC/MOS and extracted spectra in boxes of 3.5’ X 3.5’. The temperature distribution around the two central galaxies is remarkably homogeneous (r<10’), contrary to previous ASCA results, suggesting that the core is actually in a relaxed state. At larger distance from the cluster center we do see evidence for recent matter accretion. We confirm the cool area in the direction of NGC 4921, probably due to gas stripped from an infalling group. We find indications of a hot front in the South West, in the direction of NGC4839, probably due to an adiabatic compression. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0011086 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
