Initial Investigations of the Outskirts of XLSSC 122

Eleanore. B. Todd, Jon. P. Willis, Rebecca. E. A. Canning +7

We investigate the redshift 1.98 galaxy cluster XLSSC 122 using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from the core of the cluster out to 3 Mpc, a scale equivalent to 10 times the R500…

Spectroscopic confirmation of a mature galaxy cluster at redshift two

J. P. Willis, R. E. A. Canning, E. S. Noordeh +6

Galaxy clusters are the most massive virialized structures in the Universe and are formed through the gravitational accretion of matter over cosmic time. The discovery of an evolve…

The XXL Survey: XXXIII. Chandra Constraints on the AGN Contamination of z > 1 XXL Galaxy Clusters

C. H. A. Logan, B. J. Maughan, M. N. Bremer +11

Context. The XMM-XXL survey uses observations from XMM-Newton to detect clusters of galaxies over a wide range in mass and redshift. The moderate PSF of XMM-Newton means that point…

The XXL Survey: XXX. Characterisation of the XLSSsC N01 supercluster and analysis of the galaxy stellar populations

V. Guglielmo, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +34

Superclusters form from the largest enhancements in the primordial density perturbation field and extend for tens of Mpc, tracing the large-scale structure of the Universe. We char…

The XXL Survey: XXII. The XXL-North spectrophotometric sample and galaxy stellar mass function in X-ray detected groups and clusters

V. Guglielmo, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +42

The fraction of galaxies bound in groups in the nearby Universe is high (50% at z~0). Systematic studies of galaxy properties in groups are important in order to improve our unders…

The XXL survey: first results and future

M. Pierre, C. Adami, M. Birkinshaw +108

The XXL survey currently covers two 25 sq. deg. patches with XMM observations of ~10ks. We summarise the scientific results associated with the first release of the XXL data set, t…
