“…The SHARC Bright (Bright Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster survey, Romer et al 2000a) is a wide area shallow survey covering a total area of 178.6 deg 2 with a flux limit of 1.63 × 10 −13 erg s −1 cm −2 . The SHARC Southern (The Southern Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster survey, Burke et al 2003a) is a narrow area deep survey covering 17.7 deg 2 with a flux limit of 4.66 × 10 −14 erg s −1 cm −2 .…”

“…In the input catalogues this information is usually provided as notes and comments and because it is different in type and size from catalogue to catalogue its homogenisation is not straightforward. In general, we choose not to include detailed and extended information and we therefore refer the reader to the cited papers for more information, e.g., the notes to Table 1 in Gioia & Luppino (1994) or in Table 2 of Romer et al (2000a). In the following we describe the type of information we included in NOTES.…”

We present the compilation and properties of a meta-catalogue of X-ray detected clusters of galaxies, the MCXC. This very large catalogue is based on publicly available ROSAT All Sky Survey-based (NORAS, REFLEX, BCS, SGP, NEP, MACS, and CIZA) and serendipitous (160SD, 400SD, SHARC, WARPS, and EMSS) cluster catalogues. Data have been systematically homogenised to an overdensity of 500, and duplicate entries from overlaps between the survey areas of the individual input catalogues are carefully handled. The MCXC comprises 1743 clusters with virtually no duplicate entries. For each cluster the MCXC provides three identifiers, a redshift, coordinates, membership in the original catalogue, and standardised 0.1−2.4 keV band luminosity L 500 , total mass M 500 , and radius R 500 . The meta-catalogue additionally furnishes information on overlaps between the input catalogues and the luminosity ratios when measurements from different surveys are available, and gives notes on individual objects. The MCXC is available in electronic format for maximum usefulness in X-ray, SZ, and other multiwavelength studies.

“…In the process of our search for moderately distant (i.e., z ∼ 1) clusters of galaxies that are detectable via their X-ray emission (Adami et al 2000;Romer et al 2000;Ulmer et al 2005;Adami et al 2007), we report here the discovery of a cluster with z = 0.866, RX J1257.2+4738 (hereafter for brevity referred to as RX J1257). The cluster was first detected in X-rays in the ROSAT data archive, and the i -band and Ks-band followup found a concentration of red galaxies that could be explained by the existence of a cluster with z > ∼ 0.6.…”

Context. The cosmic time around the z ∼ 1 redshift range appears crucial in the cluster and galaxy evolution, since it is probably the epoch of the first mature galaxy clusters. Our knowledge of the properties of the galaxy populations in these clusters is limited because only a handful of z ∼ 1 clusters are presently known. Aims. In this framework, we report the discovery of a z ∼ 0.87 cluster and study its properties at various wavelengths. Methods. We gathered X-ray and optical data (imaging and spectroscopy), and near and far infrared data (imaging) in order to confirm the cluster nature of our candidate, to determine its dynamical state, and to give insight on its galaxy population evolution. Results. Our candidate structure appears to be a massive z ∼ 0.87 dynamically young cluster with an atypically high X-ray temperature as compared to its X-ray luminosity. It exhibits a significant percentage (∼90%) of galaxies that are also detected in the 24 μm band. Conclusions. The cluster RXJ1257.2+4738 appears to be still in the process of collapsing. Its relatively high temperature is probably the consequence of significant energy input into the intracluster medium besides the regular gravitational infall contribution. A significant part of its galaxies are red objects that are probably dusty with on-going star formation.

“…The Planck survey is the first all-sky cluster survey since the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) of the early 1990s. The ROSAT dataset produced several reference catalogs either directly based on the RASS, among which NORAS (Northern ROSAT All-Sky galaxy cluster survey, Böhringer et al 2000), REFLEX (ROSAT-ESO Flux Limited X-ray Galaxy Cluster Survey, Böhringer et al 2004) and MACS (Massive Cluster Survey, Ebeling et al 2001), or serendipitous catalogs, such as the 400 sd (400 Square Degree 1 http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Planck/index.html survey, Burenin et al 2007), the SHARC surveys (Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster survey, Romer et al 2000;Burke et al 2003) or the WARPS surveys (Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey, Perlman et al 2002;Horner et al 2008). A comprehensive description of these surveys can be found in Piffaretti et al (2011).…”

Surveys based on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect provide a fresh view of the galaxy cluster population, one that is complementary to X-ray surveys. To better understand the relation between these two kinds of survey, we construct an empirical cluster model using scaling relations constrained by current X-ray and SZ data. We apply our model to predict the X-ray properties of the Planck SZ Cluster Catalog (PCC) and compare them to existing X-ray cluster catalogs. We find that Planck should significantly extend the depth of the previous all-sky cluster survey, performed in the early 1990s by the ROSAT satellite, and should be particularly effective at finding hot, massive clusters (T > 6 keV) out to redshift unity. These are rare objects, and our findings suggest that Planck could increase the observational sample at z > 0.6 by an order of magnitude. This would open the way for detailed studies of massive clusters out to these higher redshifts. Specifically, we find that the majority of newly-detected Planck clusters should have X-ray fluxes 10 −13 erg/s/cm 2 < f X [0.5−2 keV] < 10 −12 erg/s/cm 2 , i.e., distributed over the decade in flux just below the ROSAT All Sky Survey limit. This is sufficiently bright for extensive X-ray follow-up campaigns. Once Planck finds these objects, XMM-Newton and Chandra could measure temperatures to 10% for a sample of ∼100 clusters in the range 0.5 < z < 1, a valuable increase in the number of massive clusters studied over this range.
