A complete sample of twelve very X-ray luminous galaxy clusters at z>0.5

Abstract

We present the statistically complete and cosmologically most relevant subset of the twelve most distant galaxy clusters detected at z>0.5 by the MAssive Cluster Survey (MACS). Ten of these systems are new discoveries; only two (MACSJ0018.5+1626 aka CL0016+1609, and MACSJ0454.1-0300 aka MS0451.6-0305) were previously known. We provide fundamental cluster properties derived from our optical and X-ray follow-up observations as well as the selection function in tabulated form to facilitate cosmological studies using this sample.
