SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL 43047 DR. GORDON CHARLES STEWART UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER LEICESTERSHIRE UK LE1 7RH LEICESTER UNIVERSITY ROAD E-mail: GCS@STAR.LE.AC.UK Tel: 44 0116 2523554 Fax: 44 0116 2522070 Medium: 5GB8MM Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS Title: OBSERVATIONS OF THE SHAPLEY SUPERCLUSTER Abstract: We propose ASCA observations of 3 member clusters of the Shapley supercluster. The clusters are chosen to investigate the influence of richness (mass), and position within the supercluster, and to determine whether cluster properties, such as the efficiency of galaxy formation, are a function of the local overdensity at the time of cluster formation.
