By combining X-ray spectral data obtained from the MSSL proportional-counter spectrometer on the Ariel 5 satellite with optical velocity-dispersion measurements for eight clusters of galaxies, it is demonstrated that the observed X-ray emission probably arises from the thermal bremsstrahlung mechanism and that the individual active galaxies do not play an important role in supplying energy to the intracluster medium. In addition, correlations between X-ray temperature and luminosity, between X-ray temperature and cluster radius, and between X-ray temperature and the mass of emitting gas are discussed.
