    Distant galaxy clusters in a deep XMM-Newton field within the CFTHLS D4
    (2013) de Hoon, A.; Lamer, G.; Schwope, A.; Muehlegger, M.; Fassbender, R.; Boehringer, H.; Lerchster, M.; Nastasi, A.; Suhada, R.; Verdugo, M.; Dietrich, J. P.; Brimioulle, F.; Rosati, P.; Pierini, D.; Santos, J. S.; Quintana, H.; Rabitz, A.; Takey, A.
    Aims. The XMM-Newton distant cluster project (XDCP) aims at the identification of a well defined sample of X-ray selected clusters of galaxies at redshifts z >= 0.8. As part of this project, we analyse the deep XMM-Newton exposure covering one of the CFHTLS deep fields to quantify the cluster content. We validate the optical follow-up strategy as well as the X-ray selection function.

    First simultaneous optical/near-infrared imaging of an X-ray selected, high-redshift cluster of galaxies with GROND The galaxy population of XMMU J0338.7+0030 at z=1.1

    Context. The XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project is a serendipitous survey for clusters of galaxies at redshifts z >= 0.8 based on deep archival XMM-Newton observations. X-ray sources identified as extended are screened against existing optical all-sky surveys for galaxies, in case of candidate high-z clusters followed up with imaging at 4 m-class telescopes and, ultimately, multi-object spectroscopy at 8 m-class telescopes. Low-significance candidate high-z clusters are followed up with the seven-channel imager GROND (Gamma-Ray Burst Optical and Near-Infrared Detector) that is mounted at a 2 m-class telescope. Its unique capability of simultaneous imaging in the g', r', i', z', J, H, Ks bands enables the use of the photometric redshift technique.

    Kinematic analysis of a sample of X-ray luminous distant galaxy clusters The Lx-σv relation in the z > 0.6 universe
    (2014) Nastasi, A.; Boehringer, H.; Fassbender, R.; De Hoon, A.; Lamer, G.; Mohr, J. J.; Padilla, N.; Pratt, G. W.; Quintana, H.; Rosati, P.; Santos, J. S.; Schwope, A. D.; Suhada, R.; Verdugo, M.
    Aims. Observations and cosmological simulations show galaxy clusters as a family of nearly self-similar objects with properties that can be described by scaling relations as a function of mass and time. Here we study the scaling relations between the galaxy velocity dispersion (sigma(v)) and X-ray quantities, such as X-ray bolometric luminosity (L-X,500(Bol)) and temperature (T-X) in galaxy clusters at high redshifts (0.64 <= z <= 1.46). We also compare our results with the analogous study of the local HIFLUGCS sample.
