Maps illustrating the result of the R–L deprojection algorithm on a set of 100 simulated β-profile maps (Eq. (4)) assuming spherical symmetry for a set of simulated data rebinned with a Voronoi tessellation of 30 counts/bin. Left: mean map obtained by averaging the 100 rebinned initial maps; right: mean map resulting from the average of the 100 maps after applying the R–L deprojection and reprojection. Both maps are dimensionless, have the same color scale, and are shown in logarithmic scale.
