Thermodynamic profiles of the ICM in the SRM model. Upper panels: radial (dotted) and vertical (dashed) profiles of electron number density (left panel) and spectroscopic-like temperature (right panel) for the SRM model (blue lines) compared with the corresponding average observed profiles (solid red lines) and their scatter (shaded red band), taken from Ghirardini et al. (2019a, G19 in the legends). Here, n_e, shell (solid green line; left panel) is the angle-averaged (see Sect. 2.2) density profile of the SRM model, and T_sl, mean(R_P) = [T_sl(R_P,0)+T_sl(0,R_P)]/2 (solid green line; right panel) is its average spectroscopic-like temperature profile. Lower panels: departure of average profile (solid green lines; see above) of density (left panel) and spectroscopic-like temperature (right panel) of the SRM model from the average observed profiles (solid red lines) with their scatter (shaded red band). The spherical radius, r, and the radius in the plane of the sky, , are given in kpc in the bottom axis and normalized to r₅₀₀ ≃ 1345 kpc in the top axis. The vertical, dash-dotted violet and black lines indicate R_break and r₅₀₀, respectively. The virial temperature of this model, defined as in Eq. (59) of Voit (2005), is T₂₀₀ ≃ 6.46 keV.
