Spatially-resolved X-ray spectroscopy

The X-ray morphology of the core of Abell 4059 is complex and asymmetric. Given the obvious lack of spherical symmetry (especially in the central regions of this system), any spatially-resolved spectral studies of this cluster will be subject to uncertain projection effects. With these caveats in mind, this section presents a detailed spatially-resolved spectroscopic investigation of Abell 4059.
