SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 800103
Title: A HAT TRICK IN THE LYNX FIELD: THE INTRACLUSTER MEDIUM AT 0.6 < Z < 1.3
Observer: STANFORD
Subject Category: Clusters of Galaxies
Seq: 800103 ObsId: 00927
Long-term Plan bin: 30-Apr-2000
ABSTRACT
We propose to obtain a deep image with ACIS-I of a field containing three galaxy clusters at 0.6 < z < 1.3, including the highest-redshift non-AGN cluster. The AXAF image will determine if the known X-ray source at the z=1.3 cluster is extended, resolving the question of whether an intracluster medium is present. The detection of the Fe-K line and the measurement of the temperature in all three clusters will provide unprecedented insight into the metal enrichment and thermal history of the ICM at z > 1. Existing and scheduled observations of this field, including our NICMOS and WFPC2 imaging and Keck spectroscopy, make it ideal for multi-wavelength studies of the distant universe. We waive proprietary rights so as to make a deep AXAF image available to the community during A01.
