Chandra X-ray imaging and derived temperature of RXC J2014.8−2430. Left: broadband Chandra X-ray image of RXC J2014.8−2430 in the 0.5−7.0 keV range, shown on a square root scale, roughly following projected density. We note that no point sources were removed from the image. Right is west, and north is up. Middle: unsharp masked Chandra X-ray surface brightness shown on a logarithmic scale, with X-ray contours from the left panel. The image was produced to highlight surface brightness edges. The image reveals a spiral decrement characteristic of cold fronts induced by sloshing, running anticlockwise from the western portion of the core outwards. Right: temperature map derived by applying the contour binning technique of Sanders (2006) to the Chandra X-ray data for the core region of RXC J2014.8−2430. Contours are from the left panel.
