Scientific paper

We propose to use ACIS-I to observe the recently discovered supercluster SC 1120-1202 at z=0.43. This region is extreme within the 130 sq. degrees probed by the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey (LCDCS), is compact (containing four clusters within a single ACIS field-of-view), and includes three clusters with expected temperatures in excess of 5 keV. In an effort to study this unique environment, we will use our proposed observations to 1) identify additional collapsed objects within the supercluster2) detect shocks and distortions in the X-ray isophotes indicative of mergers and cluster interactions, and 3) measure the properties (metallicity and mass) of the gravitationally collapsed objects to determine whether this extreme environment affects the clusters and groups within.
