Clusters Of Galaxies: X-Ray Surveys

Scientific paper

The authors embarked in 1994 on the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey with the aim of constructing a large, X-ray flux-limited sample of distant galaxy clusters. In the period 1995 - 1998 they engaged in an intense optical identification programme, a substantial fraction of which was carried out with the EFOSC spectrograph at the 3.6-m at La Silla. Over the last two years, their efforts have shifted to the near IR study of the most distant candidates and, most recently, to spectroscopic follow-up of these systems with the VLT. This observational effort has produced the largest sample of spectroscopically-confirmed distant clusters to date, with four clusters confirmed beyond redshift one. The authors summarise here some results and highlights from the entire survey.
