Surface brightness discontinuities in radio halos
Due to a bug in the software used to extract the surface brightness profiles (pyproffit), the profile shown in red in Fig. 3 of the original paper is incorrect.The correct profile is presented in Fig. 1 here, which shows that the surface brightness drops by a factor of 10 at the position of the discontinuity (instead of the factor of 6-7 originally reported).This was the only profile presented in the original paper affected by the bug in pyproffit.
