The idea that gas may be present in clusters of galaxies originated with the missing mass problem—the observation that galaxies in clusters were moving so fast that the inferred galaxy masses (using conventional mass to light ratios for the galaxies) were not enough to hold them together caused astronomers to speculate that the “missing mass” was in the form of gas. Subsequent observations in the 21 cm and La lines as well as radio, optical and x-ray continuum observations have effectively ruled out this possibility in a large number of clusters. However, there is evidence for the presence of gas in smaller quantities in many clusters.
