Description

We report Suzaku observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1795 that extend to r200 approx. = 2 Mpc, the radius within which the mean cluster mass density is 200 times the cosmic critical density. These observations roughly double the maximum radius at which X-ray emission has been detected from this object. We extend the declining cluster temperature profile beyond the radial limits (r - 1 Mpc) of existing Chandra and XMM data. These observations demonstrate Suzaku's capability for spatially resolved spectroscopy at very low surface brightness levels. (author)
