Caption: Fig. 6.

Normalized temperature profiles of several cluster subsets. Error bars are omitted for clarity. Panels (a) and (b) show the five coolest (TX ≤ 5.3 keV) and the five hottest (TX ≥ 8 keV) clusters of those shown in Fig. 5 (excluding AWM 7 and A2163), respectively. Panel (c) shows relaxed clusters with cooling flows (A780, A1795, A2029, A3112, A3571, A4059, and MKW 3S), panel (d) shows asymmetric and strong merger clusters (A119, A644, A754, A2065, A3266, A3376, A3395, A3558, A3667, and Cygnus A), and panel (e) shows only the asymmetric clusters excluded from Fig. 5 (A119, A754, A3376, A3395, A3667, and Cygnus A). There is no apparent systematic difference between the subsamples, except for a greater scatter and slightly less steep decline of profiles for irregular clusters (panels d and e).
