Abstract
The galaxy clusters Abell 478 and Centaurus are studied using observations made with the (PSPC) and (HRI) on ROSAT. Spectral analyses and image deprojection analyses place firm constraints on the temperature profiles of the intracluster gas, on the distribution of the gas, and on the total gravitating mass. The properties of the cooling flows and the evidence for X-ray absorbing material within the clusters are discussed. The central galaxies are intimately bound to the gravitational potentials of the clusters.
