Soft X-Ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Excess Emission from Clusters of Galaxies

Kaastra, J. S.; Durret, F.; Werner, N. +2 more

An excess over the extrapolation to the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray ranges of the thermal emission from the hot intracluster medium has been detected in a number of clusters of galaxies. We briefly present each of the satellites (EUVE, ROSAT PSPC and BeppoSAX, and presently XMM-Newton, Chandra and Suzaku) and their corresponding instrumenta…
