The XMM - LSS survey I .

We have designed a medium deep large area X-ray survey with XMM – the XMM Large Scale Structure survey, XMM-LSS – with the scope of extending the cosmological tests attempted using ROSAT cluster samples to two redshift bins between 0 < z < 1 while maintaining the precision of earlier studies. Two main goals have constrained the survey design: the evolutionary study of the cluster-cluster correl...

The Xmm Large Scale Structure Survey: Scientific Motivation and First Observations

Thanks to its unrivalled sensitivity and large field of view, XMM potentially occupies a leading position as a survey instrument. We present cosmological arguments in favour of a medium-sensitivity, large-scale structure survey with XMM, using galaxy clusters as tracers of the cosmic network. We show how this has motivated the definition of a concrete survey, the XMM Large-Scale Structure Surve...

XMM - LSS discovery of a z = 1 . 22 galaxy cluster

We present details of the discovery of XLSS J022303.0−043622, a z = 1.2 cluster of galaxies. This cluster was identified from its X-ray properties and selected as a z > 1 candidate from its optical/near-infrared (IR) characteristics in the XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey (XMMLSS). It is the most distant system discovered in the survey to date. We present ground-based optical and near-IR observ...

XMM Cluster Survey: X-ray source identification using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is predicted to detect thousands of clusters observed serendipitously in XMM-Newton pointings. We investigate automating optical follow-up of XCS cluster candidates using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) public archive, concentrating on 42 XMM observations that overlap the First Data Release of the SDSS. Confining ourselves to the inner 11 arcminutes of the XMM f...
