The European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) of the European Space
Agency (ESA) is organising an XMM-Newton Science workshop
Galaxy Clusters as Giant Cosmic Laboratories
from 21st to 23rd May 2012
European Space Astronomy Centre
Madrid, Spain

- AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING -
Galaxy clusters are interesting astrophysical laboratories to study
large-scale physical processes and important probes to assess the
structure and evolution of our Universe. X-ray observations provide
the most detailed insight into structure, composition, and evolution
of galaxy clusters.
Since the launch of the XMM-Newton and Chandra observatories, our
understanding of galaxy clusters has impressively improved including
paradigm changes like the physics of cooling cluster centres and the
description of galaxy clusters as a tightly constrained self-similar
family of objects. During this period, galaxy clusters have also
helped to define the quite precisely described Concordance Cosmology
Model, and they have shown how the intergalactic medium is enriched by
heavy elements over the last half of the age of the
Universe. Observations with XMM-Newton, Chandra and SUZAKU have been
essential for this progress and after a little more than a decade, a
detailed picture of galaxy clusters has crystallised, well worth to be
critically reviewed and discussed at a topical workshop.
