Summary

Clusters of galaxies appear to contain much more mass than just that of the galaxies which provide most of their optical luminosity. There are two important ways to investigate the structure of their gravitational potential wells, firstly by an analysis of the radial velocities of the cluster galaxies, and secondly by a study of the X-ray emission from the hot gas which forms part of the intra cluster medium. We present new samples of radial velocity data for three clusters, and discuss some simple types of models of the X-ray sources.
