We present five newly found galaxy clusters at z>0.6 from the XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS). All five objects are extended X-ray sources in the XMM images. For three of them we have sufficient spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies that an estimate of the velocity dispersion is possible: XLSSC 001 at z=0.613 and sigma_V=867^{+80}_{-60} km/s, XLSSC 002 at z=0.772 and sigma_V=524^{+267}_{-116} km/s and XLSSC 003 at z=0.839 and sigma_V=780^{+137}_{-75} km/s. These three clusters have X-ray bolometric luminosities L_X sim 1-3 times 10^{44} erg/s and temperatures 2-4 keV, and consequently are less massive than previously known clusters at similar redshifts, but nevertheless they follow the low redshift scaling relations between L_X, T and sigma_V, within the limits of the measurement errors. One of the clusters, XLSSC 004, is detected independently as an overdensity of galaxies of a colour R-z=1.4 that matches the redshift of the central galaxy z=0.87, although it cannot unambiguously be confirmed by the spectroscopic observations alone. The highest redshift candidate cluster pertaining to this paper, XLSSC 005, is most likely a double cluster complex at a redshift around unity, associated with an extended X-ray source with probable substructure.

We have designed a medium deep large area X-ray survey with XMM - the XMM Large Scale Structure survey, XMM-LSS - with the scope of extending the cosmological tests attempted using ROSAT cluster samples to two redshift bins between 0<z<1 while mainta ining the precision of earlier studies. Two main goals have constrained the survey design: the evolutionary study of the cluster-cluster correlation function and of the cluster number density. The results are promising and, so far, in accordance with our predictions as to the survey sensitivity and cluster number density. The feasibility of the programme is demonstrated and further X-ray coverage is awaited in order to proceed with a truly significant statistical analysis. (Abridged)
We present an investigation of the dust-enshrouded activity in a sample of X-ray selected clusters drawn from the XMM-LSS survey in the redshift range z ~ 0.05 - 1.05. By taking advantage of the contiguous mid-IR coverage of the XMM-LSS field by the Spitzer SWIRE legacy survey, we examined the distribution and number density of mid-IR bright sources out to the cluster periphery and its dependence on redshift to probe the obscured side of the Butcher-Oemler effect. Toward intermediate redshift clusters we identified surprisingly high numbers of bright 24um sources, whose photometric redshifts are compatible with cluster membership. The stacked surface density profile of 24um sources in clusters within four redshift bins gives evidence for an excess of bright mid-IR sources at redshift z $geq$ 0.4 at cluster-centric radii ~ 200 - 500 kpc. Some traces of excess appear to be present at larger radii as well.

A detailed analysis of XMM observations of ClJ0046.3+8530 (z=0.624) is presented. The cluster has a moderate temperature (kT=4.1+/-0.3keV) and appears to be relaxed. Emission is detected at >3 sigma significance to a radius of 88% of R200 (the radius enclosing an overdensity of 200 times the critical density at z=0.624) in a surface-brightness profile. A temperature profile (extending to 0.7R200), and hardness-ratio map show no significant departures from the global temperature, within the statistical limits of the data. The clusters bolometric X-ray luminosity is L=(4.3+/-0.3)*10^44 erg/s, and the total mass derived within R200, assuming isothermality and hydrostatic equilibrium, is M_200=3.0^{+0.6}_{-0.5}*10^14 Msolar. The gas entropy measured at 0.1R200 is compared with a sample of local systems, and found to be consistent with self-similar evolution with redshift. The metallicity, gas density profile slope, and gas mass fraction are all consistent with those found in low-z clusters.

We present an X-ray point-source catalog from the XMM-Large Scale Structure survey region (XMM-LSS), one of the XMM-Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (XMM-SERVS) fields. We target the XMM-LSS region with $1.3$ Ms of new XMM-Newton AO -15 observations, transforming the archival X-ray coverage in this region into a 5.3 deg$^2$ contiguous field with uniform X-ray coverage totaling $2.7$ Ms of flare-filtered exposure, with a $46$ ks median PN exposure time. We provide an X-ray catalog of 5242 sources detected in the soft (0.5-2 keV), hard (2-10 keV), and/or full (0.5-10 keV) bands with a 1% expected spurious fraction determined from simulations. A total of 2381 new X-ray sources are detected compared to previous source catalogs in the same area. Our survey has flux limits of $1.7times10^{-15}$, $1.3times10^{-14}$, and $6.5times10^{-15}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ over 90% of its area in the soft, hard, and full bands, respectively, which is comparable to those of the XMM-COSMOS survey. We identify multiwavelength counterpart candidates for 99.9% of the X-ray sources, of which 93% are considered as reliable based on their matching likelihood ratios. The reliabilities of these high-likelihood-ratio counterparts are further confirmed to be $approx 97$% reliable based on deep Chandra coverage over $approx 5$% of the XMM-LSS region. Results of multiwavelength identifications are also included in the source catalog, along with basic optical-to-infrared photometry and spectroscopic redshifts from publicly available surveys. We compute photometric redshifts for X-ray sources in 4.5 deg$^2$ of our field where forced-aperture multi-band photometry is available; $>70$% of the X-ray sources in this subfield have either spectroscopic or high-quality photometric redshifts.
We present a first catalogue of X-ray sources resulting from the central area of the XMM-LSS (Large Scale Structure survey). We describe the reduction procedures and the database tools we developed and used to derive a well defined catalogue of X-ray sources. The present catalogue is limited to a sub-sample of 286 sources detected at 4 sigma in the 1 deg^2 area covered by the photometric VVDS (VIRMOS VLT Deep Survey), which allows us to provide optical and radio identifications. We also discuss the X-ray properties of a larger X-ray sample of 536 sources detected at > 4 sigma in the full 3 deg^2 area of the XMM Medium Deep Survey (XMDS) independently of the optical identification. We also derive the logN-logS relationship for a sample of more than one thousand sources that we discuss in the context of other surveys at similar fluxes.
