project: III. Gas mass fraction shape in high redshift clusters
Rachida Sadat, Alain Blanchard, Sebastien C. Vauclair +10
We study the gas mass fraction, behavior in project. The typical shape of high redshift galaxy clusters follows the global shape inf…
XMM Cluster Survey: X-ray source identification using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kate R. Land, Robert C. Nichol, Michael Davidson +8
[ABRIDGED] The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is predicted to detect thousands of clusters observed serendipitously in XMM-Newton pointings. We investigate automating optical follow-up o…
Imaging the Sunyaev Zel'dovich Effect using ACBAR on Viper
A. K. Romer, P. L. Gomez, C. M. Cantalupo +13
During 2001 and 2002, observations of several X-ray bright clusters of galaxies were conducted using the ACBAR Bolometer Array on the South Pole Viper telescope. A multi-frequency…
A Joint Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and X-ray Analysis of Abell 3667
C. M. Cantalupo, A. K. Romer, J. B. Peterson +4
We present a 40GHz (7.5 mm) raster scan image of a 3.6x2 degree region centered on the low redshift (z=0.055) cluster of galaxies Abell 3667. The cluster was observed during the An…
The XMM-Newton Project
J. G. Bartlett, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +16
The abundance of high-redshift galaxy clusters depends sensitively on the matter density $\OmM$ and, to a lesser extent, on the cosmological constant . Measurements of this abun…
A Serendipitous Galaxy Cluster Survey with XMM: Expected Catalogue Properties and Scientific Applications
A. Kathy Romer, Pedro T. P. Viana, Andrew R. Liddle +1
This paper describes a serendipitous galaxy cluster survey that we plan to conduct with the XMM X-ray satellite. We have modeled the expected properties of such a survey for three…
