Description
A significant milestone in X-ray survey science was achieved with the successful launch of eROSITA in July 2019. The German-built eROSITA X-ray telescope, on board the Russian-German Spectrum-RG (SRG) mission, operates within the 0.2-8 keV range and has produced the largest ICM-detected catalogs of galaxy clusters and groups through its All-Sky Surveys. The first eROSITA all-sky survey, with over 10,000 confirmed clusters, is pivotal in cluster astrophysics. I will give an overview of the physical properties of clusters of galaxies and galaxy groups and present rich cluster science eROSITA initiated.
