Fig. 5: Projections related to the X-ray.
From: Asymmetric eROSITA bubbles as the evidence of a circumgalactic medium wind
Panels a and b show segmented X-ray projections of 2 < ∣Z∣/kpc < 7 and ∣Z∣/kpc > 7, respectively. The green lines represent the outlines of bubble cavities filled by nuclear outflow (T > 6 × 106 K) which may account for the PRLs15 (red crosses). The morphology of PRLs definitely bends towards the right/west, exhibiting a large C-shaped structure which is frequently observed in other radio galaxies81 as the aftermath of a crosswind acting upon the bubbles82. Panel c exhibits the EM of 0.3 keV plasma with ∣Z∣ > 2 kpc. Panel d shows the distribution of χinit.
