Further studies of X-ray structure of the Perseus cluster

The X-ray sources in the Perseus cluster have been studied by many authors. Available data on the spatial and spectral distributions are examined and summarized. Based on these observations, a consistent model is proposed for the production of X-rays and gamma-rays in the region around NGC 1275. It is shown that good agreement with observations is obtained by assuming the emission of soft X-rays for thermal bremsstrahlung and of hard X-rays and gamma-rays from the inverse Compton process.
