Abstract

We have developed an analytic model for a preheated, polytropic IGM inhydrostatic equilibrium within a NFW potential in which the evolutionof the halo structure between major merger events proceeds inside-outby accretion. For a polytropic index of 1.2, consistent with both manyobservational results and predictions from high-resolution gasdynamicalsimulations, our model is capable of reproducing faithfully all theobserved X-ray properties of nearby relaxed, non-cooling flow groupsand clusters of galaxies with a universal level of energy injection ofabout half a keV (see Solanes et al. 2005 for details).
