Scientific paper

The number of high-redshift galaxy clusters is scarce, with only few systems known at z>1 and the highest cluster scoring z=1.45. We propose a 80 ks Chandra observation in order to characterise the most distant X-ray detected cluster of galaxies known thus far, JKCS041, at z=1.9, recently discovered by us and for which we have extensive imaging (radio, optical, near-infrared, mid-infrared, UV) data already in hand and spectroscopy in progress. These observations will ensure the first measure of X-ray properties of clusters at this distance and significantly enlarge the redshift baseline of the scaling relations.
