Abell 3266 is one of the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters in the sky and is a well-known merging system. Using the ability of the eROSITA telescope onboard SRG (Spectrum R\"ontgen Gamma) to observe a wide field with a single pointing, we…

We present results from recent Suzaku and Chandra X-ray, and MMT optical observations of the strongly merging "double cluster" A1750 out to its virial radius, both along and perpendicular to a putative large-scale structure filament. Some…

ASCA data are used to obtain two-dimensional gas temperature maps of A2256, A2319, A2163 and A665. In all four, the temperature decreases significantly at off-center distances of ~1 h^{-1} Mpc. Central regions of the two nearer clusters…

We present a $250\,$ks Chandra observation of the cluster merger A2034 with the aim of understanding the nature of a sharp edge previously characterized as a cold front. The new data reveal that the edge is coherent over a larger opening…

We use radio, near-IR, optical, and X-ray observations to examine dynamic processes in the central region of Abell 2125. In addition to the central triple, including members of both major dynamical subsystems identified from a redshift…
