We compute the number counts of clusters of galaxies, the logN-logS relation, in several X-ray and submm bands on the basis of the Press-Schechter theory. We pay particular attention to a set of theoretical models which well reproduce the ROSAT 0.5-2 keV band logN-logS, and explore possibilities to further constrain the models from future observations with ASCA and/or at submm bands. The latter is closely related to the European PLANCK mission and the Japanese Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array (LMSA) project. We exhibit that one can break the degeneracy in an acceptable parameter region on the $Omega_0 - sigma_8$ plane by combining the ROSAT logN-logS and the submm number counts. Models which reproduce the ROSAT band logN-logS will have $N(>S) sim (150-300) (S/10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1})^{-1.3}$ str$^{-1}$ at $S > 10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}$ in the ASCA 2-10 keV band, and $N(>S_ u) sim (10^2-10^4) (S_ u/100 mJy)^{-1.5} str^{-1}$ at $S_ u > 100 mJy$ in the submm (0.85mm) band. The amplitude of the logN-logS is very sensitive to the model parameters in the submm band. We also compute the redshift evolution of the cluster number counts and compare with that of the X-ray brightest Abell-type clusters. The results, although still preliminary, point to low density ($Omega_0sim 0.3$) universes. The contribution of clusters to the X-ray and submm background radiations is shown to be insignificant in any model compatible with the ROSAT logN-logS.

We use the number counts of X-ray selected normal galaxies to explore their evolution by combining the most recent wide-angle shallow and pencil-beam deep samples available. The differential X-ray number counts, dN/dS, for early and late-type normal
galaxies are constructed separately and then compared with the predictions of the local X-ray luminosity function under different evolution scenarios. The dN/dS of early type galaxies is consistent with no evolution out to z~0.5. For late-type galaxies our analysis suggests that it is the sources with X-ray--to--optical flux ratio logfx/fopt>-2 that are evolving the fastest. Including these systems in the late-type galaxy sample yields evolution of the form ~(1+z)^{2.7} out to z~0.4. On the contrary late-type sources with logfx/fopt<-2 are consistent with no evolution. This suggests that the logfx/fopt>-2 population comprises the most powerful and fast evolving starbursts at moderate and high-z. We argue that although residual low-luminosity AGN contamination may bias our results toward stronger evolution, this is unlikely to modify our main conclusions.
The behaviour of the X-ray number counts of normal galaxies at faint (-18<Log F<-15 cgs in the 0.5-2.0 keV band) fluxes is investigated. The joint use of information from radio, far infrared and X-ray surveys allows the determination of the LogN-LogS
of galaxies within a factor-of-3 over the whole flux range considered.
(abridged) A detailed comparison is performed of the LFs compiled at infrared, radio and optical wavelengths and converted into XLFs using available relations with the XLF directly estimated in the 0.5--2 keV energy band from X-ray surveys (Norman et
al). We find that the XLF from the local sample of IRAS galaxies (Takeuchi et al) provides a good representation of all available data samples; pure luminosity evolution of the form (1+z)^eta, with eta< ~3, is favoured over pure density. The local X-ray luminosity density is also well defined. We discuss different estimates of the galaxies LogN-LogS, selected from the Chandra Deep Fields with different selection criteria: these have similar slopes, but normalisations scattered within a factor ~2, of the same order of the Poissonian error on the counts. We compare the observed LogN-LogS with the counts predicted by integrating our reference z=0 XLF. By using number counts alone, it is not possible to discriminate between density and luminosity evolution; however, the evolution of galaxies must be stopped in both cases at z~1-2. The contribution of galaxies to the X-ray background is found to be in the range 6%--12%. Making use of cosmic star formation models, we find that the X-ray LogN-LogS might be not compatible with very large star formation rates at z ~ 3 as suggested by sub-mm observations in Blain et al. 1999. As to the content of current and, possibly, future X-ray surveys, we determine the fraction of galaxies around the current flux limit: (30+-12 %). At fainter fluxes the fraction of galaxies will probably rise, and overcome the counts from AGN at fluxes < ~10^{-17} erg/s/cm^2.
FIRBACK is a one of the deepest surveys performed at 170 microns with ISOPHOT onboard ISO, and is aimed at the study of cosmic far infrared background sources. About 300 galaxies are detected in an area of four square degrees, and source counts prese
nt a strong slope of 2.2 on an integral logN-logS plot, which cannot be due to cosmological evolution if no K-correction is present. The resolved sources account for less than 10% of the Cosmic Infrared Background at 170 microns. In order to understand the nature of the sources contributing to the CIB, and to explain deep source counts at other wavelengths, we have developed a phenomenological model, which constrains in a simple way the luminosity function evolution with redshift, and fits all the existing deep source counts from the mid-infrared to the submillimetre range.

The original abstract significantly exceeds the space available here, so heres a brief summary. The abstract is similar to the abstract of astro-ph/0111285 (ApJ, 567, 716) which describes the X-ray galaxy cluster sample HIFLUGCS, the X-ray luminosi
ty--gravitational mass relation, the cluster mass function, and the derived cosmological constraints. Additionally, the fraction of the total gravitating mass in the universe which is contained in intracluster gas is quantified. Furthermore, physical properties of the cluster sample have been studied and analyses of relations between different cluster parameters (including the gas mass fraction, gas temperature, X-ray luminosity, gas mass, gravitational mass, beta, and core radius) are discussed. Also, results from an analysis of XMM-Newton performance verification phase data of Abell 1835 are described.
