Using XMM-Newton observations, we investigate the scaling and structural properties of the ICM entropy in a sample of 10 nearby (z < 0.2) relaxed galaxy clusters in the temperature range 2-9 keV. We derive the local entropy-temperature (S –T ) relation at R = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5R200. The logarithmic slope of the relation is the same within the 1σ error at all scaled radii. However, the intrin...
