The analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel\'dovich measurements of the intracluster medium (ICM) assumes that electrons are in thermal equilibrium with ions in the plasma. However, electron-ion equilibration timescales can be comparable to the…
In this paper, a review is given of methods useful for XMM-Newton EPIC data analysis of extended sources, along with some applications to a bright massive cluster of galaxies at z=0.2, Abell 209. This may constitute an introduction to that…
