Physics

Scientific paper

We propose a 180 ks program to observe 7 cluster candidates from the South Pole Telescope cluster survey. These clusters have been identified via the Sunayev-Zel'dovich effect (SZ) as S/N>5.5 candidates using the South Pole Telescope. This is part of a combined GO/GTO (in conjunction with the HRC team) program to establish an unbiased, SZ-flux limited sample of ~100 clusters to be observed with Chandra. Chandra observations of clusters detected by the SPT survey will provide an accurate measurement of the high mass end of the mass function, where the sensitivity to the underlying cosmology is largest.
