Radial projected temperature profiles. Crosses are centered on the emission‐weighted radii. Vertical errors are 90% and include systematic uncertainties; horizontal error bars show the boundaries of the annulus. Shaded bands denote a continuous range of temperatures in a cooling‐flow or, in some cases, a power‐law component, in those clusters where these spectral components are significantly detected by our analysis. For such clusters, the central cross corresponds to the upper (ambient) temperature of the cooling flow or the temperature of the thermal component. For illustration, for A2065 a central single‐temperature fit is also shown as dotted cross.
