[2.04] Chandra measurements of the temperature profiles at large radius in a sample of low- and moderate-redshift clusters.

Chandra is well-suited for the temperature measurements at large radii because of flat and stable background of its ACIS detectors. We present the measurements of the temperature profiles to approximately 0.6 of the virial radius in a sample of 11 clusters spanning a range of redshifts and masses.
