Evolution of X-ray Luminous Clusters from z=0.3 to z=0.8
Abstract
Observations of the highest redshift clusters provide the longest lever arm in the attempt to evaluate the evolution of their bulk properties. I present the most recent results on galaxy cluster evolution based on data from the ROSAT North Ecliptic Pole survey. At there is a deficit of clusters with respect to the local universe which is significant at 4.7. The evolution appears to begin at L erg s in the NEP survey data and goes in the same direction as the original EMSS result. At lower redshifts there is no evidence for evolution, a result in agreement with all the existing cluster surveys.
