چکیده

We report the detection of a massive high-redshift cluster of galaxies near the quadruple quasar RX J0911+05, using the LRIS instrument on the Keck-II telescope. The cluster is found to have a mean redshift of z̄ = 0.7689± 0.002 and a velocity dispersion of σ = 836 −200 km s , based on redshift measurements for 24 member galaxies. This massive high-redshift cluster is the origin of the unusually large external shear required by lensing models of the quadruple quasar system. We predict the expected time delay depending on the exact contribution of the cluster. A measurement of the time delay and further deep lensing and X-ray observations will unravel useful properties of this serendipitously discovered high-redshift cluster, and may put interesting cosmological constraints on H0. Subject headings: galaxies: clusters: general — gravitational lensing — galaxies: clusters: individual (RX J0911.4+0551)

We present a multi-wavelength study of RX J0848+4456, a cluster of galaxies discovered through X-ray emission in the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey. Our observations consist of WFPC2 imaging, optical spectra, and X-ray data collected with the Chan-dra observatory. We find that RX J0848+4456 consists of an X-ray emitting cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z = 0.570 and a group at slightly lower red...

If u → A(u) is a C 0,α-mapping, for 0 < α ≤ 1, having as values unbounded self-adjoint operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition, parametrized by u in an (even infinite dimensional) space, then any continuous (in u) arrangement of the eigenvalues of A(u) is indeed C 0,α in u.
