The X-ray luminous galaxy cluster population at 0.9<z<~1.6 as revealed by the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project
R. Fassbender, H. Boehringer, A. Nastasi +12
We present the largest sample of spectroscopically confirmed X-ray luminous high-redshift galaxy clusters to date comprising 22 systems in the range 0.9<z<\sim1.6 as part of the XM…
Discovery of the X-ray selected galaxy cluster XMMU J0338.8+0021 at z = 1.49 - Indications for a young system with a forming brightest galaxy
Alessandro Nastasi, Rene Fassbender, Hans Böhringer +11
We report on the discovery of a galaxy cluster at z = 1.490 originally selected as an extended X-ray source in the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project. Further observations carried…
Discovery of a massive X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=1.579
Joana S. Santos, Rene Fassbender, Alessandro Nastasi +11
We report on the discovery of a very distant galaxy cluster serendipitously detected in the archive of the XMM-Newton mission, within the scope of the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Pr…
Exploring the galaxy cluster-group transition regime at high redshifts: Physical properties of two newly detected z > 1 systems
R. Šuhada, R. Fassbender, A. Nastasi +11
Context: Multi-wavelength surveys for clusters of galaxies are opening a window on the elusive high-redshift (z>1) cluster population. Well controlled statistical samples of distan…
The X-ray luminous galaxy cluster XMMU J1007.4+1237 at z=1.56 - The dawn of starburst activity in cluster cores
Rene Fassbender, Alessandro Nastasi, Hans Böhringer +12
Observational galaxy cluster studies at z>1.5 probe the formation of the first massive M>10^14 Msun dark matter halos, the early thermal history of the hot ICM, and the emergence o…
