We search the cool core galaxy clusters in the REXCESS sample for evidence of
large scale gas sloshing, and find clear evidence for sloshing in
RXJ2014.8-2430, the strongest cool core cluster in the REXCESS cluster sample.
The residuals of the surface brightness distribution from the azimuthal average
for RXJ2014 show a prominent swirling excess feature extending out to an abrupt
surface brightness discontinuity at 800 kpc from the cluster core (half the
virial radius) to the south, which the XMM-Newton observations confirm to be
cold, low entropy gas. The gas temperature is significantly higher outside this
southern surface brightness discontinuity, indicating that this is a cold front
800 kpc from the cluster core. Chandra observations of the central 200 kpc show
two clear younger cold fronts on opposite sides of the cluster. The scenario
appears qualitatively consistent with simulations of gas sloshing due to minor
mergers which raise cold, low entropy gas from the core to higher radius,
resulting in a swirling distribution of opposing cold fronts at increasing
radii. However the scale of the observed sloshing is much larger than that
which has been simulated at present, and is similar to the large scale sloshing
recently observed in the Perseus cluster and Abell 2142.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in MNRA
