X-ray surface brightness (left column) and temperature profiles (right column) for the sample of eight relaxed galaxy clusters. The black points are derived from the X-ray image and spectroscopic data. The blue lines in both profiles show the best fit model to the data obtained using a uniform Anders & Grevesse (1989) helium abundance, and the red lines show the best fit model obtained using the Peng & Nagai (2009) helium sedimentation distribution; the green lines in surface brightness profiles indicate the background levels determined from the blank sky observations. The overall χ2 of the fits obtained from the uniform helium abundance and the helium sedimentation model (Tables 2 and 3) show that both distributions give equally good fits to Chandra data.
