SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 800020

Title: X-RAY PROPERTIES OF A HIGH-REDSHIFT CLUSTER

Observer: FEIGELSON

Subject Category: Clusters of Galaxies

Seq: 800020 ObsId: 00512

Long-term Plan bin: 16-Apr-2000

ABSTRACT

The mass of X-ray emitting gas in rich clusters can considerably exceed the mass in stars, and is enriched in heavy elements. The origin and evolution of this intracluster medium are not fully understood. This observation of an X-ray-bright cluster at z = 0.83 will give insight into the mass, temperature and metal distribution of the medium at an early epoch, as well as measurement of the gravitational potential.
