A pan-chromatic view of clusters of galaxies and the large-scale structure

The study of clusters of galaxies has advanced tremendously in the recent years due to the advent of large or dedicated ground-based telescopes, the increasingly sensitive space observatories and the significant advances in numericalastrophysics and cosmology. The current generations of large spectroscopic and wide-field imaging survey and ongoing multi-wavelength studies, covering a large range of the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to the sub-mm and the radio, are making major breakthroughs in our understanding of galaxy aggregation and transformation processes in different environments, on the properties ofthe tenuous ICM gas, on the starburst activity and on revealing environmentaleffects on galaxy formation and evolution. INDICE: 1. Gas Dynamics in Clusters of Galaxies. 2. Dynamics of the Hot Intracluster Medium. 3. Dynamics of Galaxies and Cluster of Galaxies. 4. OpticalDetection of Clusters of Galaxies. 5. Clusters of Galaxies in the Radio: Relativistic Plasma and ICM/Radio Galaxy Interaction Processes. 6. Metal Content and Production in Clusters of Galaxies. 7. Gravitational Lensing by Clusters ofGalaxies. 8. The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect in Cosmology and Cluster Physics. 9. Cosmology with Clusters of Galaxies.
