ABSTRACT
We propose to observe the six most massive clusters at z>1.2, discovered via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect by the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The proposed 700 ks program will provide deep X-ray spectroscopy for a sample that is already rich in multi-wavelength data from a variety of telescopes, including Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra. These new data, coupled with spatially-resolved X-ray imaging from Chandra, will provide the first constraints on the thermodynamic profiles for a complete sample of galaxy clusters at z>1.2, allowing us to study a variety of physical processes in clusters cores and outskirts, and test predictions of self similarity and AGN feedback models, at a time shortly after these systems formed.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
