Abstract

We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the HectoMAP redshift survey and cross-identify associated X-ray emission in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data (RASS). The resulting flux limited catalog of X-ray cluster survey is complete to a limiting flux of 3×1013\sim3 \times10^{-13} erg s1^{-1} cm2^{-2} and includes 15 clusters (7 newly discovered) with redshift z0.4z \leq 0.4. HectoMAP is a dense survey (1200\sim1200 galaxies deg2^{-2}) that provides 50\sim50 members (median) in each X-ray cluster. We provide redshifts for the 1036 cluster members. Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging covers three of the X-ray systems and confirms that they are impressive clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray clusters have an LXσclL_{X} - {\sigma}_{cl} scaling relation similar to that of known massive X-ray clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray cluster sample predicts 12000±3000\sim 12000 \pm3000 detectable X-ray clusters in the RASS to the limiting flux, comparable with previous estimates.
