radial_profiles.am06_density_profile(rho_0, a, a_c, c, n)[source]#

The density profile for galaxy clusters suggested by [AsMa06]. Works best in concert with the radial_profiles.am06_temperature_profile().

Parameters:

  • rho_0 (float) – The scale density of the profile in Msun/kpc**3.

  • a (float) – The scale radius in kpc.

  • a_c (float) – The scale radius of the cool core in kpc.

  • c (float) – The scale of the temperature drop of the cool core.

  • n (float) – The integer scaling on alpha and beta.

Returns:

The corresponding radial profile object.

Return type:

RadialProfile
