Scientific paper

We are proposing a 26ks ACIS-I observation of the z=0.347 Abell cluster AS1063. Combining this observation with unique multi-frequency Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) data obtained from the ACBAR instrument at the South Pole we will characterize the density, temperature, and dynamical state of the gas. We will investigate whether X-ray substructures are due to shock fronts or contact discontinuities. We will create scaled emission measure and temperature profiles to determine whether the cluster follows self-similar scaling laws. We will determine the total mass and the gas fraction in the cluster and make an estimate of the Hubble constant. Finally we will determine another, accurate, data point to add to the investigation of evolution in the cluster luminosity-temperature function.
