Hydrostatic mass profiles in X-COP galaxy clusters
Non-thermal pressure support in X-COP galaxy clusters
Universal thermodynamic properties of the intracluster medium over two decades in radius in the X-COP sample
The series of three XMM Cluster Outskirts Project (X-COP) articles
published by the A&A journal presents a complete current view of 12
nearby massive galaxy clusters from a joint X-ray and SZ analysis with
XMM-Newton and Planck data. The papers detail the clusters' baryonic
content, pressure, and thermodynamic profiles out to large radii. This
work probes the dark-matter distribution and provides an important
addition to the ongoing "hydrostatic mass bias" discussion for galaxy
clusters.
