Image Credit: Ueda et al. (2021), ApJ, 922, 81

Thumbnails showing the Chandra X-ray brightness distribution in the 0.5 - 7.0 keV band for 28 systems selected from the HIFLUGS sample. The color bar indicates the X-ray surface brightness in units of photon counts s^-1 arcsec^-2 cm^-2. The black and cyan crosses in each panel show the positions of the X-ray brightness peak and the BCG, respectively. The white horizontal bar in each panel corresponds to a spatial scale of 60''.
