Maps illustrating the result of the R–L deprojection algorithm on simulated β-profile maps (Eq. (4)) assuming spherical symmetry, without applying the Voronoi tessellation to the simulated data. Left: mean map obtained by averaging the 100 initial maps; right: mean map resulting from the average of the 100 maps after applying the R–L de- and reprojection. Both maps are dimensionless, have the same color scale and are shown in logarithmic scale.
