Chandra ACIS‐I image of A3128, in the energy range 0.5–10 keV, displayed at a contrast level to emphasize the lower surface brightness features in the image, notably the third X‐ray component that lies between the two bright emission peaks. The horizontal axis gives the full 16﹩\arcmin﹩ field of the ACIS‐I image. The image has been binned by ﹩4\times 4﹩ pixels and then smoothed with a Gaussian of ﹩\sigma =4.0﹩ pixels. The gaps between the four individual CCD I0–I3 chips can be seen in the plot, despite the dithering of the observation.
