Description

This Meeting featured the recent advancements in our understanding of galaxy clusters and the distant Universe, achieved by the past and new generation of X-ray satellites. I summarize here the main themes that have been discussed: (a) Clusters of galaxies as probes of cosmological models; (b) The physics of cosmic baryons trapped within the potential wells of galaxy clusters; (c) The origin of the cosmic X-ray background and the nature of the contributing sources.
