Left panel: XMM-Newton smoothed image in the 0.3−10 keV band of A3667. The red elliptical sectors represent the regions used for the temperature and abundance distributions. The green sector is the offset region used for the sky background estimation. Cyan circles are the point sources removed, with enlarged radius for clarity purpose. White contours are SUMSS radio contours. The solid yellow and orange lines show the X-ray shocks and cold front position, respectively. Right panel: enlarged image of A3667. The BCG is marked with black cross. The solid orange line shows the cold front position. In addition to sector 2, the dashed yellow sector corresponds to a region considered also separately (see text). The numbers label the regions used in the spectral fitting.
