About The Data
Data DescriptionThe images are created from various Hubble archive observations of galaxy clusters. The science team includes: D. Harvey (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland/University of Edinburgh), R. Massey (Durham University, UK), T. Kitching (University College London), and A. Taylor and E. Tittley (University of Edinburgh, UK).

About The Image
Color InfoThese images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the HST/ACS and CXO/ACIS instruments. Several filters and X-ray energies were used to observe the objects. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter or energy. In this case, the assigned colors are: Pink: X-ray Yellow: Optical Blue: Dark Matter Map
