| dc.description.abstract | We present deep imaging and optical spectroscopy of the newly discovered Red-Sequence Cluster Survey cluster RCS 043938 - 2904.9. This cluster, drawn from an extensive preliminary list, was selected for detailed study on the basis of its apparent optical richness. Spectroscopy of 11 members places the cluster at z = 0.951 +/- 0.006 and confirms the photometric redshift estimate from the (R-z) color-magnitude diagram. Analysis of the infrared imaging data demonstrates that the cluster is extremely rich, with excess counts in the K-s band exceeding the expected background counts by 9 sigma. The properties of the galaxies in RCS 043938 - 2904.9 are consistent with those seen in other clusters at similar redshifts. Specifically, the red-sequence color, slope, and scatter and the size-magnitude relation of these galaxies are all consistent with that seen in the few other known high-redshift clusters and indeed are consistent with appropriately evolved properties of local cluster galaxies. The apparent consistency of these systems implies that the rich high-redshift RCS clusters are directly comparable to the few other systems known at, most of which have been selected on the basis of X-ray emission. | |
