The XMM Cluster Survey: Evidence for energy injection at high redshift from evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature relation
Matt Hilton, A. Kathy Romer, Scott T. Kay +21
We measure the evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature (L_X-T) relation since z~1.5 using a sample of 211 serendipitously detected galaxy clusters with spectroscopic redshift…
The XMM Cluster Survey: Predicted overlap with the Planck Cluster Catalogue
Pedro T. P. Viana, António da Silva, Elsa P. R. G. Ramos +13
We present a list of 15 clusters of galaxies, serendipitously detected by the XMM Cluster Survey (XCS), that have a high probability of detection by the Planck satellite. Three of…
The XMM Cluster Survey: Optical analysis methodology and the first data release
Nicola Mehrtens, A. Kathy Romer, E. J. Lloyd-Davies +34
The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is a serendipitous search for galaxy clusters using all publicly available data in the XMM-Newton Science Archive. Its main aims are to measure cosmolo…

The XMM Cluster Survey: Active Galactic Nuclei and Starburst Galaxies in XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.46
Matt Hilton, Ed Lloyd-Davies, S. Adam Stanford +11
We use Chandra X-ray and Spitzer infrared observations to explore the AGN and starburst populations of XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.46, one of the most distant spectroscopically conf…
Early assembly of the most massive galaxies
Chris A. Collins, John P. Stott, Matt Hilton +15
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging. Stars begin to form re…
