Constraining Multiphase Gas in Cooling Flows

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a spectral analysis of the central X-ray emission for a sample of galaxy clusters observed with Chandra. We constrain the quantity of a second cospatial temperature component using Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling and discuss the implications for our understanding of cooling flows.
