radial_profiles.baseline_entropy_profile#

radial_profiles.baseline_entropy_profile(K_0, K_200, r_200, alpha)[source]#

The baseline entropy profile for galaxy clusters [VoKB05].

Parameters:

  • K_0 (float) – The central entropy floor in keV*cm**2.

  • K_200 (float) – The entropy at the radius r_200 in keV*cm**2.

  • r_200 (float) – The virial radius in kpc.

  • alpha (float) – The logarithmic slope of the profile.

Returns:

The corresponding radial profile object.

Return type:

RadialProfile
