Scientific paper

Various cosmological applications of galaxy clusters are presented. Clusters are used to determine the baryon fraction, dark matter distribution and the matter density of the universe. They also contain a wealth of information about structure formation and evolution on different scales: large-scale structure, cluster formation and also galaxy formation via the interaction of cluster galaxies with the intra-cluster medium. In particular, the X-ray satellites CHANDRA and XMM yield exciting new results for galaxy cluster physics and cosmology.
