Truncations in the X-Ray Halos of Early-type Galaxies as a Tracer of Feedback and Mergers

The morphology of X-ray halos in early-type galaxies depends on key structure assembly processes, such as feedback and mergers. However, the signatures of these processes are difficult to characterize due to their faint and amorphous nature. We demonstrate that the truncation in the temperature prof...
