The X-ray properties of a sample of high redshift (z>0.6), massive clusters observed with XMM-Newton and Chandra are described, including two exceptional systems. One, at z=0.89, has an X-ray temperature of T=11.5 (+1.1, -0.9) keV (the highest temperature of any cluster known at z>0.6), an estimated mass of (1.4+/-0.2)x10^15 solar masses and appears relaxed. The other, at z=0.83, has at least three sub-clumps, probably in the process of merging, and may also show signs of faint filamentary structure at large radii,observed in X-rays. In general there is a mix of X-ray morphologies, from those clusters which appear relaxed and containing little substructure to some highly non-virialized and probably merging systems. The X-ray gas metallicities and gas mass fractions of the relaxed systems are similar to those of low redshift clusters of the same temperature, suggesting that the gas was in place, and containing its metals, by z=0.8. The evolution of the mass-temperature relation may be consistent with no evolution or with the ``late formation assumption. The effect of point source contamination in the ROSAT survey from which these clusters were selected is estimated, and the implications for the ROSAT X-ray luminosity function discussed.

I discuss constraints on star--formation and AGN activity in massive galaxies at z~1-3 using observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope. In particular I focus on a sample of distant red galaxies (DRGs) with J-K>2.3 in GOODS-S. Based on their ACS,
ISAAC, and IRAC photometry, the DRGs have typical stellar masses >10^11 Msol. Interestingly, the majority (>50%) of these objects have 24 micron detections. If attributed to star formation, this implies SFRs of ~100-1000 Msol/yr. Thus, massive galaxies at z~1.5-3 have specific SFRs equal to or exceeding the global average value at that epoch. In contrast, galaxies with >10^11 Msol at z~0.3-0.75 have specific SFRs less than the global average, and more than an order of magnitude lower than that at z~1.5-3. Thus, the bulk of assembly of massive galaxies is largely complete by z~1.5. At the same time, based on the X-ray luminosities and near-IR colors, as many as 25% of the massive galaxies at z>1.5 host AGN, implying that the growth of supermassive black holes coincides with massive-galaxy assembly. The analysis of high-redshift galaxies depends on bolometric corrections between the observed 24 micron data and total IR luminosity. I review some of the sources of the (significant) uncertainties on these corrections, and discuss improvements for the future.
We study the cluster environment for a sample of 21 radio loud AGN from the 3CR catalog at z>1, 12 radio galaxies and 9 quasars with HST images in the optical and IR. We use two different approaches to determine cluster candidates. We identify the ea
rly type galaxies (ETGs) in every field by modeling each of the sources within a 40 radius of the targets with a Sersic profile. Using a simple passive evolution model, we derive the expected location of the ETGs on the red sequence (RS) in the color-magnitude diagram for each of the fields of our sources. For seven targets, the model coincides with the position of the ETGs. A second approach involves a search for over densities. We compare the object densities of the sample as a whole and individually against control fields taken from the GOODS-S region of 3D-HST survey. With this method we determine the fields of 10 targets to be cluster candidates. Four cluster candidates are found by both methods. The two methods disagree in some cases, depending on the specific properties of each field. For the most distant radio galaxy in the 3CR catalog (3C257 at z = 2.47), we identify a population of bluer ETGs that lie on the expected location of the RS model for that redshift. This appears to be the general behavior of ETGs in our fields and it is possibly a signature of the evolution of such galaxies. Our results are consistent with half of the z > 1 radio galaxies being located in dense, rapidly evolving environments.
We analyse 850um continuum observations of eight massive X-ray detected galaxy clusters at z~0.8-1.6 taken with SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We find an average overdensity of 850um-selected sources of a factor of 4+/-2 per cluster wi
thin the central 1Mpc compared to the field. We investigate the multiwavelength properties of these sources and identify 34 infrared counterparts to 26 SCUBA-2 sources. Their colours suggest that the majority of these counterparts are probable cluster members. We use the multi-wavelength far-infrared photometry to measure the total luminosities and total cluster star-formation rates demonstrating that they are roughly three orders of magnitude higher than local clusters. We predict the H-band luminosities of the descendants of our cluster submillimetre galaxies and find that their stellar luminosity distribution is consistent with that of passive elliptical galaxies in z~0 clusters. Together, the faded descendants of the passive cluster population already in place at z~1 and the cluster submillimetre galaxies are able to account for the total luminosity function of early-type cluster galaxies at z~0. This suggests that the majority of the luminous passive population in z~0 clusters are likely to have formed at z>>1 through an extreme, dust-obscured starburst event.
In this paper, a review is given of methods useful for XMM-Newton EPIC data analysis of extended sources, along with some applications to a bright massive cluster of galaxies at z=0.2, Abell 209. This may constitute an introduction to that kind of ad
vanced analysis, complementing cookbooks that can be found over the internet, the XMM-Newton EPIC calibration status document (Kirsch, 2002), and the data analysis workshops organised in VILSPA, which were only dedicated so far to point sources analysis. In addition, new spectro-imaging techniques are proposed, in order to measure for instance the intracluster medium mass and temperature profiles, or even maps.
We have observed the flare star YY Gem simultaneously with XMM-Newton and Chandra as part of a multi-wavelength campaign aiming at a study of variability related to magnetic activity in this short-period eclipsing binary. Here we report on the first
results from the analysis of the X-ray spectrum. The vicinity of the star provides high enough S/N in the CCD cameras onboard XMM-Newton to allow for time-resolved spectroscopy. Since the data are acquired simultaneously they allow for a cross-calibration check of the performance of the XMM-Newton RGS and the LETGS on Chandra.
