AGN-subtracted soft band image of the Spiderweb protocluster (left). The blue circle corresponds to 17 arcsec, while the blue lines represent the regions within which we derived the surface brightness as a function of the angle. Magenta squares and the magenta circle represent the eastern and western jet excluded regions and the central excluded AGN, respectively, while the green circles represent the excluded unresolved sources in the field of view. The average surface brightness within each wedge in the soft band is presented as a function of the angle (right). The black bars represent the Poissonian uncertainties associated with surface brightness measurements. The dotted red lines separate different quadrants.
