Abstract

X-ray imaging has opened new vistas on the structure and evolution of clusters and their member galaxies. Three aspects, reviewed in this contribution, are: the frequency of substructure, and its implications for cosmology, the ratio of gas-mass to galaxy-mass as a function of cluster richness and its implications for the efficiency of galaxy formation, and abundance gradients in galaxies as tracers of their history and of past supernova rates.
