The HectoMAP Cluster Survey. II. X-Ray Clusters
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 surveys is complete to a limiting flux of ∼3 ×ばつ 10-13 erg s-1 cm-2 and includes 15 clusters (7 newly discovered) with redshifts z ≤ 0.4. HectoMAP is a dense survey (∼1200 galaxies deg-2) that provides ∼50 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 L X-σ cl scaling relation similar to that of known massive X-ray clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray cluster sample predicts ∼12,000 ± 3000 detectable X-ray clusters in RASS to the limiting flux, comparable with previous estimates.
