Using Chandra imaging spectroscopy and Very Large Array (VLA) L-band radio maps, we have identified radio sources at P_{1.4GHz} >=5x10^{23} W Hz^{-1} and X-ray point sources (XPSs) at L_{0.3-8keV}>=5x10^{42} erg s^{-1} in L>L* galaxies in 12 high-red
shift (0.4<z<1.2) clusters of galaxies. The radio galaxies and XPSs in this cluster sample, chosen to be consistent with Coma Cluster progenitors at these redshifts, are compared to those found at low-z analyzed in Hart et al. (2009). Within a projected radius of 1 Mpc of the cluster cores, we find 17 cluster radio galaxies (11 with secure redshifts, including one luminous FR II radio source at z=0.826, and 6 more with host galaxy colors similar to cluster ellipticals). The radio luminosity function (RLF) of the cluster radio galaxies as a fraction of the cluster red sequence (CRS) galaxies reveals significant evolution of this population from high-z to low-z, with higher power radio galaxies situated in lower temperature clusters at earlier epochs. Additionally, there is some evidence that cluster radio galaxies become more centrally concentrated than CRS galaxies with cosmic time. Within this same projected radius, we identify 7 spectroscopically-confirmed cluster XPSs, all with CRS host galaxy colors. Consistent with the results from Martini et al. (2009), we estimate a minimum X-ray active fraction of 1.4+/-0.8% for CRS galaxies in high-z clusters, corresponding to an approximate 10-fold increase from 0.15+/-0.15% at low-z. Although complete redshift information is lacking for several XPSs in z>0.4 cluster fields, the increased numbers and luminosities of the CRS radio galaxies and XPSs suggest a substantial (9-10 fold) increase in the heat injected into high redshift clusters by AGN compared to the present epoch.
The number density of galaxy clusters provides tight statistical constraints on the matter fluctuation power spectrum normalization, traditionally phrased in terms of sigma_8, the root mean square mass fluctuation in spheres with radius 8 h^-1 Mpc. W
e present constraints on sigma_8 and the total matter density Omega_m0 from local cluster counts as a function of X-ray temperature, taking care to incorporate and minimize systematic errors that plagued previous work with this method. In particular, we present new determinations of the cluster luminosity - temperature and mass - temperature relations, including their intrinsic scatter, and a determination of the Jenkins mass function parameters for the same mass definition as the mass - temperature calibration. Marginalizing over the 12 uninteresting parameters associated with this method, we find that the local cluster temperature function implies sigma_8 (Omega_m0/0.32)^alpha = 0.86+/-0.04 with alpha = 0.30 (0.41) for Omega_m0 < 0.32 (Omega_mo > 0.32) (68% confidence for two parameters). This result agrees with a wide range of recent independent determinations, and we find no evidence of any additional sources of systematic error for the X-ray cluster temperature function determination of the matter power spectrum normalization. The joint WMAP5 + cluster constraints are: Omega_m0 = 0.30+0.03/-0.02 and sigma_8 = 0.85+0.04/-0.02 (68% confidence for two parameters).
