Einstein imaging observations of clusters with a bimodal mass distribution
- 1. Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Description
A morphologically distinct class of clusters characterized by a double structure in their X-ray surface brightness distribution has been identified from imaging observations made with the Einstein Observatory. In the context of hierarchical models for cluster formation, we suggest these double clusters represent an intermediate stage of dynamical evolution
