SUMMARY:Plasma physics in the intracluster  medium on large scales\, A
 stronomy Colloquium\, Aurora Simionescu\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Measurements of the thermodynamic properties of the faint 
 cluster outskirts have become possible only recently due to the unique
  capabilities of the Suzaku satellite. This has opened a new window fo
 r the exploration of the ongoing virialization and equilibration proce
 sses that occur as part of large-scale structure formation. I will sum
 marize some of the most interesting conclusions regarding the physics 
 of the intracluster medium beyond the bright cluster cores. I will foc
 us on results from several recently finalized and ongoing Key/Large pr
 ograms with the Suzaku satellite\, targeting the outskirts of the Pers
 eus\, Virgo\, and Coma clusters\, which are the nearest\, brightest cl
 usters of galaxies\, and are thus ideal targets for studying in detail
  the physics of the hot X-ray emitting plasma near the virial radii of
  these systems.<br>
