Smoothed, vignetting-corrected XMM-Newton/EPIC count-rate image of A1213 in the 0.7−1.2 keV band. The circles show the regions used to estimate the global X-ray properties of A1213 (white) and of the extended source located NNW of the cluster (magenta, see text). Instead, the red region was used to estimate the local background components. The black cross marks the centroid of the X-ray emission. Black labels highlight galaxies that are also X-ray point sources.
