eRASS:5 fully corrected image in the 0.2 − 2.3 keV band. The image has been adaptively smoothed with S/N set to 45 (see Sect. 2.1). The green concentric circles are the characteristic radii of the Centaurus cluster and the four sectors used in the analyses are labeled. The boxes outside 2R₂₀₀ are used for the CXB analysis described in Sect. 2.3, as a result we decided to use the magenta boxes for CXB region for our science analyses. The values above the boxes are their median N_H values in atoms cm⁻². The cyan circles are the eRASS1 background clusters as shown in Fig. 1. In this image the emission from these clusters, as well as other unrelated sources have been removed and refilled.
