I would like to especially express my gratitude to Dr. Wolfgang Brinkmann who con-
stantly guided and supervised every phase of this work and who introduced me to astro-
physical research.
IamgratefultoDr. WolfgangVogesforperformingthecross-correlationswiththeROSAT
catalogs and I also wish to thank Dr. Hans B¨ohringer for providing his cluster catalogs
with useful X-ray data employed in this thesis. It is a pleasure to thank Dr. I. Papadakis
at the University of Crete who made possible the Skinakas observations described in Ap-
pendix A.
My PhD work was carried out in the framework of the graduate program of the Inter-
national Max-Planck Research School on Astrophysics to which I am therefore greatly
indebted. I am also grateful to Prof. Dr. G. Morfill who welcomed me in his theory group
and who provided financial support for the last months of my stay at MPE.
Finally, I would like to thank my family for the unconditional and uninterrupted support
they give me, each of them by his own means and in his own way. A final thank goes to
Mustapha who helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground.
