Notes:
[Auszug] Most of the baryons in galaxy clusters reside between the galaxies in a hot, tenuous gas. The densest gas in their centres should cool and accrete onto giant central galaxies at rates of 10–1,000 solar masses per year. No viable repository for this gas, such as clouds or new stars, ...
