arXiv:1812.04349 · doi:10.18524/1810-4215.2017.30.114263
Abstract
In our work we considered orientations of bright X-ray halos of the galaxy clusters (mainly Abell clusters). 78 appropriate clusters were selected using data from Xgal sample of extragalactic objects in XMM-Newton observation archive. Position angles and eccentricities of these halos were calculated applying FOCAS method. No privileged orientations were found.
