Background-subtracted soft band images of the Spiderweb Galaxy after removing the simulated image of the AGN. The image has been smoothed with a Gaussian kernel with a sigma of 1 pixel, slightly degrading the effective resolution. The normalization of the surface brightness of the diffuse emission within a radius of 2 arcsec is free and it is parametrized with n_d ranging from 1 (upper left image) to 6 (lower-right image). There are a few slightly negative pixels in the image, so that the average pixel value far from the Spiderweb Galaxy is zero. The unresolved source close to the center is an AGN that has not been subtracted from the image.
