The parametric space of an isothermal intracluster medium in which the classical conduction-limited TI (light yellow) and the LaTI regime (light purple below the solid indigo line) are shown. The classical conduction-limited TI must occur between the orange solid and orange dashed lines where the latter marks the size limit of TI modes for a given radius (kR ∼ 1). The solid red line marks the anomalous conduction regime kβeλe ∼ 1. The purple and red lines move up and down, respectively, with higher Tvir and βe.
