The REFLEX Galaxy Cluster Survey IV: The X-ray Luminosity Function
H. Boehringer, C. A. Collins, L. Guzzo +10
The X-ray galaxy cluster sample from the REFLEX Cluster Survey, which covers the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters detected in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey in the southern sky, is used t…
MACS: The evolution and properties of massive clusters of galaxies
Harald Ebeling, Alastair Edge, J. Patrick Henry
We present first results from the MAssive Cluster Survey (MACS), a new large-scale X-ray survey designed to find and characterize very massive, distant clusters of galaxies. Based…
Results from the REFLEX Cluster Survey
H. Böhringer, L. Guzzo, C. A. Collins +11
Based on the ROSAT All-Sky Survey we have conducted a large redshift survey as an ESO key programme to identify and secure redshifts for the X-ray brightest clusters found in the s…
X-ray evolution in the ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample
H. Ebeling, S. W. Allen, C. S. Crawford +5
We present the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of the ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS), an X-ray selected, flux limited sample of 172 clusters of galaxies at compil…
