A ROSAT HRI observation of the cluster MS0839.9+2938 at z=0.194 is presented. It confirms the earlier suggestion, based on the detection of extended H$\alpha$ emission, that the inner regions of this cluster are dominated by a cooling flow.…
We have made ROSAT PSPC and HRI X-ray observations to study the intracluster gas surrounding the powerful radio source Hercules A. The cluster is luminous in X-rays (L_bol = 4.8x10^37 W), and the host of the radio source is the central…
The temperature and abundance structure in the intracluster medium (ICM) of the Hydra-A cluster of galaxies is studied with ASCA and ROSAT. The effect of the large extended outskirts in the point-spread function of the X-Ray Telescope on…
We present a new X-ray analysis mainly based on ROSAT HRI data. The HRI spatial resolution combined with an improved wavelet analysis method and with complementary radio and optical data provides new results compared to a previous paper…
We present the analysis of pointed ROSAT PSPC observations of five of the most luminous, intermediate redshift ($0.1 < z < 0.15$) clusters of galaxies detected in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The PSPC data are combined with optical CCD images…
A ROSAT HRI image of the hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS P09104+4109 shows extended X-ray emission peaked around the central galaxy in a profile characteristic of a cooling flow. The inferred soft X-ray luminosity is comparable to that…
We present a {\it ROSAT} Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observation of the powerful radio galaxy Cygnus-A. The X-ray emission in the {\it ROSAT} band is dominated by thermal emission from the hot intracluster medium of the…
We used archival ROSAT observations to investigate the X-ray surface brightness profiles of a sample of 26 clusters in the redshift range (0.04-0.06). For 15 of these clusters accurate temperature (kT>3.5 keV) were available from the…
We present ROSAT HRI data of the distant and X-ray luminous (L_x(bol)=2.6^ {+0.4}_{-0.2} 10^{45}erg/sec) cluster of galaxies 3C 295. We fit both a one-dimensional and a two-dimensional isothermal beta-model to the data, the latter one…
We discuss the X-ray properties of the cooling flows in a sample of thirty highly X-ray luminous clusters of galaxies observed with the ASCA and ROSAT satellites. We demonstrate the need for multiphase models to consistently explain the…
We present the results of a spectral-imaging analysis of X-ray data obtained with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter aboard the ROSAT Observatory in a 32 ks pointed observation of Hickson's Compact Group (HCG) #94. Besides HCG94,…
This is the first part of a study of the detailed X-ray properties of the cores of nearby clusters. We have used the flux-limited sample of 55 clusters of Edge et al. (1990) and archival and proprietary data from the {\it ROSAT}…
We present a detailed analysis of the X-ray properties of the cooling flows in a sample of nearby, X-ray bright clusters of galaxies using high-quality ASCA spectra and ROSAT X-ray images. We demonstrate the need for multiphase models to…
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,…
We have analyzed ASCA and ROSAT PSPC spectra and images of the galaxy cluster Abell 2029. The ASCA spectra of the cluster indicate that the gas temperature declines with radius. The PSPC image shows that the cluster is very regular and…
We have analyzed the ROSAT HRI image and PSPC spectra of Abell~4059. The most striking feature of the X-ray image is the two X-ray holes and an orthogonal X-ray bar in the center of the cluster. It is likely that the radio plasma from the…

We reanalyzed the ROSAT/HRI observation of MS1054-03, optimizing the channel HRI selection and including a new exposure of 68 ksec. From a wavelet analysis of the HRI image we identify the main cluster component and find evidence for…
We use new ASCA observations and archival ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) data to determine the X-ray spectral properties of the intracluster gas in Abell 644. From the overall spectrum, we determine the average gas…
The cluster A3627 was recently recognized to be a very massive, nearby cluster in a galaxy survey close to the galactic plane. We are reporting on ROSAT PSPC observations of this object which confirm that the cluster is indeed very massive.…
