The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Cosmological Aspects of X-Ray
Clus ters of Galaxies" took place in Vel en, Westphalia, Germany,
from June 6 to June 18, 1993. It addressed the fruitful union of
two topics, cosmology and X-ray clus ters, both of which carry
substantial scientific weight at the beginning of the last decenium
of the last century in the second millenium of our era. The so far
largest X-ray "All-Sky Survey," observed by the ROSAT X-ray satel
lite, and ROSAT's deep pointed observations, have considerably
enlarged the base of X-ray astronomy, particularly concerning
extragalactic sources. Cosmology has gained significant impetus
from the large optical direct and spectroscopic surveys, based on
high quality 2-dimensional receivers at large telescopes and
powerful scan ning devices, harvesting the full information 1
content from the older technique of employing photographic plates.
Radioastronomy and IR-astronomy with IRAS, as well as r-astronomy
with GRO, continue and strengthen the role of extragalactic
research. The rapidly growing computer power in data reduction and
data storage facilities support the evolution towards large-number
statistics. A most significant push was given to early cosmology by
the needs of physics in trying to unravel the nature of forces
which govern our material world. The topic of the ASI was chosen
because it opens new vistas on this for ever new problem: the
universe. Clusters of galaxies probe large-scale matter
distributions and the structure of space-time."
