Shown are the EPIC-MOS X-ray contours of the Sirsic 159-03 cluster
of galaxies, superimposed on an optical (Digitised Sky Survey)
view of the corresponding region. The contours map the X-ray
intensity distribution of the intra-cluster gas and the bottom
graph illustrates the radial temperature profile of this X-ray
emitting material. Courtesy J. Kaastra, SRON, Utrecht, NL.
