EXOSAT observations of the Virgo cluster.
Abstract
Results are presented for observations of the Virgo cluster made using the EXOSAT Medium Energy Experiment. Limits are obtained on the temperature profile of the gas within 100 arcmin. These results provide an improved estimate for the mass surrounding M87.
