Density, temperature, and entropy profiles for the M87* and Sgr A* analog runs, averaged from 1.45 to 1.5 Gyr. The M87* analog profiles are X-ray luminosity-weighted (0.5–7 keV), while the Sgr A* analog profiles are mass weighted for gas with T > 105 K. Shaded regions in the M87* analog panels represent observed cool-core (blue) and non-cool-core (red) cluster profiles (M. McDonald et al. 2013; scaled to account for the halo mass differences), and in the Sgr A* analog panels, the Milky Way profiles (M. J. Miller & J. N. Bregman 2015; blue and red, the latter assuming no missing baryons). The M87* analog run with η ∼ 1 (Run C3) yields profiles that resemble non-cool-core clusters, while the other runs resemble cool-core clusters.
