Heinz -

Removed afterglow correction is correct.  The correction was applied
to level 1 event files in older versions of CIAO to deal with cosmic
ray afterglows.  In the version we used for this analysis, they had a
new way of dealing with cosmic rays and other flickering or dead
pixels.  But the data came with the old correction that had to be
removed.

Removed any reference to cD, opting for brightest cluster galaxy for
H, second brightest cluster galaxy for F.

I've added some more discussion about the galaxy velocity
distribution.  Anything further need to be said?

I like the subtracted image when I only subtract 0.5 times the model
since it still provides a excess at the location of galaxy H.  I've
have redone the analysis to subtract the full model and the figure of
the central region is available (cc_v2.eps).  The region around the
relic is not terribly different either way.  If people have a strong
feeling one way or another, please let me know.

I used the full cluster data (NOT subtracted) to measure the size of
the enhancement for galaxy F.

Temperature Map:

>Could one use larger boxes to reduce noise and avoid
>overinterpretation of variations?

Not really.  The count minimum sets the significance of the
temperature determination.  The map is a little strange I know, but
what you should recognize is that the boxes on the map do not directly
translate to the fit regions which can contain a number of the smaller
boxes.  The color differences in a small region are therefore
indicative of the errors in the measurements.  I've tried to add some
text on this.

>X-ray contours in Fig 8 compressed compared to Fig 2?

I think what you were noticing was a rotation effect (not
compression).  The initial figure was done in Chandra X/Y coordinates
not RA/DEC like all of the other figures.  I've changed the
temperature map figure so it is oriented the same as the other
figures.

>Figure 1:

I like both figures.  The raw gives you the unaltered data and the
smoothed allows you to see finer structures.  The smoothed data comes
across better in color than in greyscale.

>Figure 2: 

I've reworked this figure to take out some of the coordinate lines to
make it less busy.  I've also removed the 00" from Dec labels.

>Figure 4 redundant.

I agree.  Am removing this figure.  Any objections from the coauthors?
Others thought it looked washed out anyway.  The general message is
better gotten across by the temperature map I think.

2. Updated this discussion to be more clear.  Also its not necessarily
true that all cluster gas and/or the radio relic is locked to the
position of Galaxy H.

5. Matthias provided me with the larger FOV version of the Slee maps
so I have redone all the figures with the radio emission/contours.  In
almost all now, the radio and X-ray overlap completely.

7.  I've referenced the Kempner work.  I think the reference is better
suited in the Discussion when we talk about the origin of the relic
given that the Kempner classification scheme is based on physics where
the Giovannini & Ferretti is based more on observables.
