Scientific paper

We present an analysis of Chandra observations of several galaxy clusters experiencing sloshing in their core gas as the result of some large scale disturbance. Edges in the surface brightness profiles of each cluster are identified and measurements of the gas density, temperature and pressure on either side of the edge are discussed. These clusters represent a portion of a larger, flux limited sample of clusters of which a large fraction show evidence for core gas sloshing. Given that the sloshing is most readily observed when the inclination angle is small, we estimate that the vast majority of clusters are undergoing some phase of this core gas sloshing.
