The Distribution of Hot Gas in Clusters of Galaxies
Abstract
Summary. The conditions which determine the distribution of hot, X-ray emitting plasma in clusters of galaxies are discussed. A set of static, self-consistently closed models including the galaxy equilibrium is proposed and calculated. The interactions with the intercluster medium are examined. Key words: clusters of galaxies - X-ray sources, extra- galactic - intergalactic medium
