Scientific paper

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) has recently reported the first optically confirmed clusters discovered via the SZ effect. In addition, SPT has detected dozens more sources believed to be high redshift, 0.5 < z < 1.0, massive clusters. We propose to use XMM-Newton to make observations of six of the brightest clusters detected by the SPT. Follow-up observations of these clusters via X-rays is essential in understanding the selection function of the survey by linking the SZ observed flux to mass using the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium and the X-ray temperature. A detailed comparison of the X-ray and SZ observations will also tell us much about the physics and evolution of these previously undiscovered SZ effect selected clusters.
