A DEEP OBSERVATION OF A DARK LENSING CLUSTER RXJ105346.6+573517 IN THE LOCKMAN HOLE


ABSTRACT

We propose total 160 ks observation of a dark lensing cluster of galaxy RXJ105346.6+573517, which has been detected in the ROSAT ultra-deep HRI survey of the Lockman Hole. This object has an unusual double-humped extended X-ray profile and the brightest galaxy (z=2.570) close to the center of the eastern emission peak shows a gravitationally lensed arc, confirming this object as a cluster, but no significant redshift association of galaxies are found. We aim to have an X-ray spectrum of this object with ASCA and determine its temperature and possibly redshift. We also emphasize that this additional observing time of the Lockman Hole enables us to gain a lot more information on all other sources in the field, in particular time variability.
