Intra-cluster Medium

The "Intra-Cluster Medium" is a hot, diffuse plasma that constitutes the dominant baryonic component of galaxy clusters, distinguished by its thermal emission in the X-ray band due to bremsstrahlung radiation from highly ionized ions in hydrostatic equilibrium within the cluster’s gravitational potential.
