Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a deep X-ray image of MS0451-03, the brightest cluster at z>0.5 in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey. This cluster is in a unique sample of 4 high-z, high-Lx clusters which have been used to test and severely constrain cosmological models. These are the only high-z clusters which can be studied in detail by AXAF. Current GTO observations will not go beyond available ROSAT and ASCA results unless cluster gas is highly filamentary. Since the cosmological tests rely on assumptions about the Mass-Tx relation, we propose a multi-wavelength campaign, with existing SZ imaging, CNOC galaxy catalogs, HST, ROSAT and ASCA data, to exploit AXAF spatial resolution, test these assumptions, and probe the density structure of gas in a cluster at high redshift.
