Summary of the results of fitting our model to the cluster sample. Top: the distribution of fitted fg (left) and Γ values (right) for the V06 and V09 samples. The parameter s is poorly constrained and thus not included. Bottom: the radial variation of ρΓNFW (left) and the scaled temperature profiles (right) resulting from a numerical computation using the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium and our density model for four clusters alongside the average temperature profile from V06 in black.
