Large-scale structure of X-ray clusters of galaxies.
Abstract
Observations from the A-2 experiment on HEAO-1 are used to search for very large-scale structure (exceeding a degree) in 40 X-ray sources in clusters of galaxies. Significant evidence for extension is found only in the relatively nearby Perseus and Virgo clusters. For the remainder of the sources the results place stringent limits on the flux in any very large component.
