X-ray temperature and morphology of z>0.8 clusters of galaxies
B. Holden, S. A. Stanford, P. Rosati +4
We discuss our current progress in studying a sample of z>0.8 clusters of galaxies from the ROSAT Distant Cluster Survey. To date, we have Chandra observations for four of the ten…
The CFH Optical PDCS survey (COP) I: The Data
C. Adami, B. Holden, F. J. Castander +5
This paper presents and gives the COP (COP: CFHT Optical PDCS; CFHT: Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope; PDCS: Palomar Distant Cluster Survey) survey data. We describe our photometric…
Simulations Applied to the Bright SHARC XCLF: Results and Implications
M. P. Ulmer, C. Adami, R. Pildis +3
We have performed simulations of the effectiveness of the Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) survey for various model universes. We find, in agreement with…
A Turn-over in the Galaxy Luminosity Function of the Coma Cluster Core?
C. Adami, M. P. Ulmer, F. Durret +5
Our previous study of the faint end (R21.5) of the galaxy luminosity function (GLF) was based on spectroscopic data in a small region near the Coma cluster center. In this pr…
The Southern SHARC Survey: the z = 0.3 - 0.7 Cluster XLF
D. J. Burke, C. A. Collins, R. M. Sharples +3
We present the z = 0.3 - 0.7 cluster X-ray luminosity function (XLF) determined from the Southern SHARC (Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster) survey. Over the lumino…
A Search For Large-Scale Structure at High Redshift
A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay, A. K. Romer +4
We present new and exciting results on our search for large-scale structure at high redshift. Specifically, we have just completed a detailed analysis of the area surrounding the c…
