Abstract

From ROSAT data, the bright X-ray cluster Abell 85 was found to show a\nroughly symmetrical shape, on to which are superimposed several features, among\nwhich: (1) a blob or group of galaxies falling on to the main cluster, with the\ngas in the impact region probably hotter and the galaxies in that zone showing\nenhanced star formation; (2) a filament, either diffuse or made of small groups\nof galaxies, extending at least 4 Mpc from the cluster (Durret et al. 1998).\nPreliminary results obtained from XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of Abell\n85 and its filament will be presented.\n
