Chandra observations of ten galaxy clusters

In the present study the X-ray properties of 10 galaxy clusters (CL0024+17, RXJ1347.5+1145, A223, A521, A611, A697, A907, A1204, A1413 and A2744) are analysed using the archival X-ray data of the Chandra observatory. The average temperature of each cluster is estimated to be ∼ 4 − 10 keV, and the ra...
