We report Suzaku observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1795 that extend to2 Mpc, the radius within which the mean cluster mass density is 200 times the cosmic critical density. These observations are the first to probe the state of the intracluster medium in this object at1.3 Mpc. We sample two disjoint sectors in the cluster outskirts (1.3 Mpc1.9 Mpc) and detect X-ray emission in only one of them to a limiting (3) soft X-ray surface brightness of1.810erg scmdeg, a level less than 20% of the cosmic X-ray background brightness. We trace the run of temperature with radius at0.4 Mpc and find that it falls relatively rapidly (), reaching a value about one third of its peak at the largest radius we can measure it. Assuming the intracluster medium is in hydrostatic equilibrium and is polytropic, we find a polytropic index of1.3and we estimate a mass of (4.1)10within 1.3 Mpc, somewhat (2.7) lower than that reported by previous observers. However, our observations provide evidence for departure from hydrostatic equilibrium at radii as small as1.3 Mpcin this apparently regular and symmetrical cluster.
