Implications of a Nonthermal Origin of the Excess EUV Emission from the Coma Cluster of Galaxies

A. M. Atoyan, H. J. Voelk

The inverse Compton (IC) interpretation of the excess EUV emission, that was recently reported from several clusters of galaxies, suggests that the amount of relativistic electrons…
