The XMM Cluster Survey: new evidence for the 3.5 keV feature in clusters is inconsistent with a dark matter origin
S. Bhargava, P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer +14
There have been several reports of a detection of an unexplained excess of X-ray emission at 3.5 keV in astrophysical systems. One interpretation of this excess is the dec…
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: 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: Forecasting cosmological and cluster scaling-relation parameter constraints
Martin Sahlén, Pedro T. P. Viana, Andrew R. Liddle +16
We forecast the constraints on the values of sigma_8, Omega_m, and cluster scaling relation parameters which we expect to obtain from the XMM Cluster Survey (XCS). We assume a flat…
The XMM Cluster Survey: The Dynamical State of XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457
Matt Hilton, Chris A. Collins, S. Adam Stanford +12
We present new spectroscopic observations of the most distant X-ray selected galaxy cluster currently known, XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457, obtained with the DEIMOS instrument at…
