Chandra Proposal Id #02800145

Scientific paper

We propose to do follow-up observations of newly discovered massive X-ray clusters of galaxies from the ROSAT Bright Survey. These clusters at moderate to high redshifts are the most promising candidates of a programme on the NTT to search for gravitationally lensed arcs. The Chandra observations provide the necessary morphological information needed for detailed lensing models. Furthermore, temperatures und metallicities of the clusters will be measured with these Chandra observations in order to determine X-ray masses, the time scales and the processes responsible for the metal enrichment. These are all important steps in order to understand cluster formation, galaxy formation and cosmology.
