Scientific paper

The Southern Serendipitous High-redshift Archival Cluster (SHARC) catalogue is a X-ray selected catalogue of galaxy clusters detected in deep ROSAT observations. The survey area is 17.7deg2 and is selected from long (greater than 10ks) ROSAT exposures with a declination <+20deg and excluding the Galactic plane (excluding galactic latitudes within the range [-20,20]deg). Optical follow-up was performed to confirm the presence of a galaxy cluster and measure its redshift.
The final catalogue contains 32 galaxy clusters with redshifts between 0.05 and 0.70 and X-ray luminosities between 7x1035W and 4x1037W. Above a redshift of 0.3 - which forms the primary subsample of the survey - there are 16 clusters; the X-ray luminosities of these clusters are all greater than 2x10^36 W. All X-ray luminosities are quoted in the 0.5-2.0keV band and were calculated using an Einstein-de Sitter cosmology with H0 set to 50km/s/Mpc.
