In this contribution I shall review briefly some of the recent research being carried out at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the study of X-ray emission from clusters of galaxies. This work is being done by several of us at CFA, and I particularly wish to thank Drs. Christine Jones, William Forman, and J. Patrick Henry for permission to discuss their results. The data have been obtained from the Einstein X-ray Observatory (HEAO-2) using the imaging instruments, and in particular the Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC). This gives X-ray images with about l½ arc minute resolution over a field of view of ½° × ½° and moderate energy resolution over a band from 0.5 to 3.0 keV. (For further details see Giacconi et al. 1979).
