Beppo-SAX Observations of Galaxy Clusters

Astrophysics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The high spatial resolution of the MECS experiment on board Beppo-SAX has encouraged a few scientists, including the author, to perform observations of galaxy clusters. Results from the analysis of the first few observed objects are encouraging. After having reviewed the Beppo-SAX observing program for galaxy clusters and referenced contributions to these proceedings by other authors on the same topic, I present results from the analysis of the Perseus cluster.
