Abstract
|
This program is to measure redshifts for complete sample of galaxy clusters
serendipitously detected in ROSAT X-ray observations. This 400 square degrees
survey is a direct extension of our highly successful CfA-ROSAT 106 saure degrees
survey. This survey will produce a sample of 40-50 clusters at z=0.4-0.7 in the mass range
identical to that for the 50 richest clusters within z < 0.1 and thus will make possible
a direct comparison of the local and distant cluster populations. The goal of this project
is to observe lower-redshift members of the 400 square degrees survey which is necessary
for selecting a complete sample at high redshifts.
