Recent Suzaku X-ray observations revealed that the observed entropy profile of the intracluster medium (ICM) deviates significantly from the prediction of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters. In this work, we show that gas clumping introduces significant biases in X-ray measurements of the ICM profiles in the outskirts of galaxy clusters. Using hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy cluster formation in a concordance Lambda-CDM model, we demonstrate that gas clumping leads to an overestimate of the observed gas density and causes flattening of the entropy profile. Our results suggest that gas clumping must be taken into account when interpreting X-ray measurements of cluster outskirts.

Average soft X-ray surface brightness profile of massive galaxy clusters in Magneticum simulations
Magneticum simulations reproduce the eROSITA stacked soft X-ray surface brightness profile of massive clusters out to about 3 R500, with a central difference attributed to AGN feedback.
