Abstract:
Measurements of the growth of cosmic structure, based on the number density and mass distribution of galaxy clusters as a function of redshift, place powerful constraints on cosmological models. As the only all-sky Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected cluster sample, Planck's PSZ2 sample has a uniquely powerful role. Despite this, follow-up X-ray observations of the z>0.4 PSZ2 sample are incomplete, with archival coverage biased towards the X-ray brightest systems, which is problematic for most cosmological studies. Completing the X-ray follow-up coverage, and thus providing low-scatter X-ray mass proxies for every cluster at z>0.4, will enable significantly improved, more robust cosmological constraints to be obtained.

Remarks:
The SIM Z translation was originally put in to move the object away from the chip gaps on ACIS-I. After discussion with the observer, it was decided to instead do a pointing offset with the same magnitude.
