X-Ray Analysis of the MS0302 Supercluster

摘要

The MS0302 supercluster is comprised of three massive clusters at z = 0.42 (GHO 0303+170, MS 0302.7+1658, and MS0302.5+1717). While this supercluster has been the subject of deep photometric and lensing studies, it has been rather poorly observed in the X-rays. We are conducting an analysis of existing ROSAT HR1, ASCA, and Chandra data of supercluster. Here, we present a new mosaic of the region using existing ASCA observations of the region and X-ray temperatures for GHO 0303+170 and MS0302.5+1717.
