    • Description

      Eighty-one galaxy clusters – objects that make extended X-ray emissions - are know from former sky surveys (see image). Previously unknown sources of these kind are now being catalogued thanks to XMM-Newton's slew sky survey.

      Studying these objects, especially when highly luminous, is very important to investigate the evolution of the Universe.
