X-Rays from Clusters of Galaxies

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union / Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUH,volume 4-1))

Abstract

The discovery of the extended sources of X-ray emission associated with clusters of galaxies was undoubtedly one of the most significant observations carried out by the Uhuru satellite (Gursky et al (1971), Giacconi et al (1974)). At the present time, there are more than 30 identifications and suggested associations of X-ray sources with clusters of galaxies although extended emission has been directly observed in less than 10 cases.
