Clusters of galaxies and the hot intracluster mediumThe luminous material in clusters of galaxies falls primarily into two forms: the visible galaxies and the X-ray emitting intracluster medium. The hot intracluster medium is the major observed baryonic component of clusters with a mass equal to or greater than that of the stellar matter. In this paper, the structure and morphology of rich clusters as inferred from X-ray observations of the ICM are reviewed. Changes in the efficiency of galaxy formation for different clusters and the origin of the intracluster medium are also discussed.
