Scientific paper

We propose to observe three X-ray selected clusters of galaxies from the RDCS, one at z = 1.1 and two at z ~ 0.8. In conjunction with other data already being obtained by Chandra and XMM, we would then have luminosity and temperature measurements for a complete sample of 8 clusters at z > 0.8. We will produce the first temperature function at these high redshifts. Using Chandra's high angular resolution, we can minimize the contamination from point sources, a serious problem at faint flux limits, as well as study the spatial properties of the intra-cluster medium. With this combination of temperatures, luminosities, and spatial profiles, we will both probe the cluster mass function of the universe at high redshift and study the thermal history of the intra-cluster medium.
