radial_profiles.vikhlinin_temperature_profile(T_0, a, b, c, r_t, T_min, r_cool, a_cool)[source]#

A temperature profile for galaxy clusters from [ViKrF06].

Parameters:

  • T_0 (float) – The scale temperature of the profile in keV.

  • a (float) – The inner logarithmic slope.

  • b (float) – The width of the transition region.

  • c (float) – The outer logarithmic slope.

  • r_t (float) – The scale radius kpc.

  • T_min (float) – The minimum temperature in keV.

  • r_cool (float) – The cooling radius in kpc.

  • a_cool (float) – The logarithmic slope in the cooling region.

Returns:

The corresponding radial profile object.

Return type:

RadialProfile
