Scientific paper

We propose to observe a newly discovered galaxy cluster around the radio galaxy 3C 210 at z=1.17. We intend to obtain a 20 ksec ACIS exposure to identify point sources, which can severely bias measurements of extended emission in high-z clusters, and to study the radio galaxy itself. We also ask to obtain a 100 ksec EPIC exposure to measure the properties of the intracluster medium including its X-ray temperature and morphology. These observations will help to understand the way that galaxy clusters create an ICM as they evolve from the protoclusters recently discovered at 2 < z < 4, and to act as a pathfinder for the future exploitation of high redshift galaxy clusters in understanding dark energy.
