Abstract

The direct comparison of observations to numerical hydro-N-body simulations, although simple in principle, is not always trivial because of possible artificial effects produced by the instrument response and by instrumental and sky background. To overcome this problem we build the software package X-MAS (X-ray MAp Simulator) devoted to simulate X-ray observations of galaxy clusters obtained from hydro-N-body simulations.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
