Spectra in the
[0.3, 3.0] keV band synthesized with the
MEKAL code from the original EM(T) distributions of the whole spatial
domain, 25 years since the beginning of the jet/ambient medium
interaction. The top panel shows the unabsorbed parent spectrum; the
middle and the bottom panels show the EPIC-pn spectra derived for two
different statistics: 102 and 104 total counts respectively. For
the EPIC-pn spectra each panel shows the simulated data (crosses)
together with the best-fit isothermal spectrum (solid histograms) and the
contribution of each bin to the total ![]() |
