Scientific paper

We propose to obtain X-ray observations of a complete sample of 16 SZE selected galaxy clusters from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey. The SZE selection produces an approximately mass limited sample (at all redshifts) over the existing 200 deg^2 SPT survey. The Chandra observations provide X-ray mass estimates and morphologies, allowing (1) an initial calibration of the SZE flux-mass relation and (2) early tests of cosmology and the evolution of structure. Our 346ks request leverages 625ks of GTO time in AO10/11; these X-ray data are crucial to developing an understanding of the new window on the universe that SPT has opened and in laying the foundation for future studies using the full SPT survey (~1400deg^2 by 2010).
