ASCA OBSERVATION OF THE LUMINOUS CLUSTER ZWICKY 2701


ABSTRACT

We propose to observe the high X-ray luminosity cluster Zwicky 2701 (z=0.21). The proposed target is part of a large sample for which we have ROSAT, ASCA, optical and radio data that will permit the direct determination of the cluster temperature function at a redshift of 0.2 and provide a complete sample of massive clusters at moderate redshifts (z=0.2-0.3).
