Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS


ABSTRACT

Many clusters exist in the central region of the Shapley supercluster. Since the distances among these clusters are less than 3 Mpc in this region, it is likely that the cluster's interaction already occurs. The gravitational potential could be very large at the center of the supercluster. Therefore it means that cluster's collision with the most highest colliding velocity occurs. We propose here the observation of the linking region between A3558 and A3556 clusters. We may be able to observe the shock heating due to the cluster-cluster collision which the large amount of the mass of the supercluster's scale take part in.
