Results of some simple simulations of galaxy cluster X-ray emission # name: calc_cluster_*.A.out core radius R_c = 1 kpc temp = 100E6 Kelvin constant density: rho(r) = 10^(4) * [ 1 + (r/R_c)^2 ]^(-1.5) in other words, beta = 1.0 calc_cluster_spec.A.out gives spectrum at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (they are all identical in shape, since isothermal) calc_cluster_total.A.out gives total num photons at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (intensity falls as dist off-center ^(-2.5) at large dist) # name: calc_cluster_*.B.out core radius R_c = 1 kpc temp = 100E6 Kelvin constant density: rho(r) = 10^(4) * [ 1 + (r/R_c)^2 ]^(-1.2) in other words, beta = 0.8 calc_cluster_spec.B.out gives spectrum at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (they are all identical in shape, since isothermal) calc_cluster_total.B.out gives total num photons at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (intensity falls as dist off-center ^(-1.9) at large dist) # name: calc_cluster_*.C.out core radius R_c = 1 kpc temp = 100E6 Kelvin constant density: rho(r) = 10^(4) * [ 1 + (r/R_c)^2 ]^(-1.8) in other words, beta = 1.2 calc_cluster_spec.B.out gives spectrum at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (they are all identical in shape, since isothermal) calc_cluster_total.B.out gives total num photons at different distances off-center X = distance off-center, in kpc (intensity falls as dist off-center ^(-3.1) at large dist)
