| תקציר: | Clusters of galaxies are the largest bound structures in the Universe. They are cosmic laboratories to study a wide range of physical and astrophysical phenomena including dark matter, the chemical evolution of the universe, the formation and evolution of cosmic structure, the cosmological parameters , plasma physics on the largest scales, and relativistic particle acceleration. I will discuss these issues with an emphasis on what can be learned from high-energy astrophysics observations. |
