XMM-Newton temperature maps for five intermediate redshift clusters of galaxies

arXiv:0707.4120 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2007.07.033

Abstract

We have analyzed XMM-Newton archive data for five clusters of galaxies (redshifts 0.223 to 0.313) covering a wide range of dynamical states, from relaxed objects to clusters undergoing several mergers. We present here temperature maps of the X-ray gas together with a preliminary interpretation of the formation history of these clusters.
