Application of a Self-Similar Pressure Profile to Sunyaev-Zel'Dovich Effect Data from Galaxy Clusters
This paper presents the application of a simple universal model of the pressure profile in galaxy clusters to the combined analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect observations. Maughan's contribution to this
paper was to perform the analysis of the X-ray data (roughly 1/3 of the analysis work for the paper) and to make significant contributions to the discussion and interpretation of the results of the whole study. The universal pressure profile and the techniques pioneered in this paper are increasingly used to determine cluster properties from
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich data alone and in combination with X-ray data.
