Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We study the excess entropy and the corresponding non-gravitational feedback energy (E) in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) by considering a sample of 38 galaxy clusters using Chandra X-ray and NRAO VLA Sky Survey/Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope radio observations. We find moderate correlation of the feedback energy and brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) radio luminosity (L) with the various cluster thermal properties. We show conclusively that the active galactic nucleus is more effective in transferring feedback energy to the ICM in less massive clusters.We find that within 0.3r, the feedback energy correlates with cluster temperature as E ∝ T . Moreover, for radio-detected BCG sample, we find that BCG radio luminosity at 1.4 GHz scales with gas mass as L ∝ m and with an X-ray luminosity as L ∝ L . Finally, we discuss the implications of our results with regard to feedback in clusters.
