Abstract:
    We study three prominent bimodal X-ray clusters: A3528, A1750, and
    A3395. Using observations taken with ROSAT and ASCA, we analyze the
    temperature and surface brightness distributions. We also analyze the
    velocity distributions of the three clusters using new measurements
    supplemented with previously published data. We examine both the
    overall cluster properties, as well as the two subcluster elements in
    each. These results are then applied to the determination of the
    overall cluster masses; they demonstrate excellent consistency between
    the various methods used. While the characteristic parameters of the
    subclusters are typical of isolated objects, our temperature results
    for the regions between the two subclusters clearly confirm the
    presence of merger activity. These three clusters represent a
    progression of equal-sized subcluster mergers, starting from initial
    contact to immediately before first core passage.
