Scientific paper

We propose Chandra/ACIS (130ks) + XMM/EPIC (100ks) observations of a cluster at z=1.05, recently detected in the XMM-LSS survey, to measure the properties of the X-ray gas and dark matter as part of a detailed multi-wavelength study. This is only the sixth X-ray selected cluster known at z>1. It appears to have a relaxed X-ray morphology outside the core, making it almost unique at high-z. The observations will give detailed, accurate measurements of the morphology, total mass and gas mass fraction for the first time. Uniquely, we will trace the surface brightness and temperature structure from the core to the virial radius, to give an accurate total mass and thus a benchmark point in the cluster scaling relations at z=1, a vital component of cosmological studies using X-ray clusters.
