Scientific paper

We propose to continue our study of optically-selected, high-redshift (z ~1) galaxy clusters from the RCS survey, which prior CXO observations have shown to be relatively underluminous for their optical richness. We will observed two clusters (one at z=1.09, for 70 ks, and one at z=0.64, for 50 ks) for a total exposure of 120 ksec. Our aim is to determine luminosity and bound the global temperature of these objects, to progress toward completion of X-ray observations of a well-defined z=1 subsample of the RCS, and to help select RCS candidates for subsequent, very deep followup observations with Chandra and XMM.
