Excess entropy and energy feedback from within cluster cores up to r$_{200}$
Abstract
We estimate the "non-gravitational" entropy-injection profiles, , and the resultant energy feedback profiles, , of the intracluster medium for 17 clusters using their Planck SZ and ROSAT X-Ray observations, spanning a large radial range from up to . The feedback profiles are estimated by comparing the observed entropy, at fixed gas mass shells, with theoretical entropy profiles predicted from non-radiative hydrodynamic simulations. We include non-thermal pressure and gas clumping in our analysis. The inclusion of non-thermal pressure and clumping results in changing the estimates for and by 10\%-20\%. When clumpiness is not considered it leads to an under-estimation of keV cm at and keV cm at . On the other hand, neglecting non-thermal pressure results in an over-estimation of keV cm at and under-estimation of keV cm at . For the estimated feedback energy, we find that ignoring clumping leads to an under-estimation of energy per particle keV at and keV at . Similarly, neglect of the non-thermal pressure results in an over-estimation of keV at and under-estimation of keV at . We find entropy floor of keV cm is ruled out at throughout the entire radial range and keV at more than 3 beyond , strongly constraining ICM pre-heating scenarios. We also demonstrate robustness of results w.r.t sample selection, X-Ray analysis procedures, entropy modeling etc.
