Observations of Massive Galaxy Clusters from the All-Sky Survey with the eROSITA Telescope Onboard the SRG Space Observatory

Abstract

We present the results of our search for massive galaxy clusters among extended X-ray sources from the SRG/eROSITA survey using data from the Planck survey and data from optical and infrared sky surveys. Optical observations of these clusters are carried out with the 6-m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BTA), the 2.5-m telescope at the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Moscow State University (AZT-33IK), and the 1.5-m Russian–Turkish telescope (RTT-150). We provide data on the optical identifications and spectroscopic redshift measurements for 11 massive galaxy clusters with masses higher than \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$M_{500}\approx 6\times 10^{14}M_{\odot}$$\end{document} located at redshifts \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$z\approx 0.3$$\end{document}–\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$1$$\end{document}.
