We present results from ASCA and ROSAT HRI observations of the powerful radio galaxy 4C+55.16 at redshift 0.24. Extended soft X-ray emission is imaged by the ROSAT HRI. The X-ray brightness profile is sharply peaked on the radio galaxy,…

In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of gas sinking towards the cluster center, yet no such cooling…

We present the results from a 42 ks \chandra ACIS observation of the galaxy cluster A478. This cluster is generally considered to be highly relaxed. The \chandra image reveals, for the first time, X-ray cavities in the hot gas within the…

A detailed analysis of XMM observations of ClJ0046.3+8530 (z=0.624) is presented. The cluster has a moderate temperature (kT=4.1+/-0.3keV) and appears to be relaxed. Emission is detected at >3 sigma significance to a radius of 88% of R200…

While the warm, ionized gas in the CGM at z>3 is now routinely observed around bright QSOs in Lya emission, little is known about the CGM hot phase due to its expected faintness in the X-ray band, often referred to as the ICM. Here, we…

We present images of NGC4696, the central galaxy in the Centaurus cluster, showing the large extent of cool filaments which are bright in H-alpha line emission. These filaments share the detailed structure of both the central dust lane and…
