Electron density (n_e(r)) and pressure (P_e(r)) profiles of the hot halos in MQN01 (red), Spiderweb (blue), and DIANOGA simulations (green). The red curve shows the best-fit model for MQN01, with the shaded region indicating the 68% confidence interval. The profiles of the Spiderweb halo is from L24, while the green band represents the range of profiles extracted from DIANOGA cosmological simulations of massive halos (∼2–6 × 10¹³ M_⊙) at similar redshift as MQN01 (i.e. z = 3). The dashed vertical red lines indicate the radial range between 2″ and 5″, where we observe a significant detection.
