What we are learning about distant Clusters in XXL
Abstract
The XMM XXL survey and its multi-wavelength follow-up have enabled thedetection and characterisation of clusters to z~2 in the context of a complete and uniform dataset. I will present some recent results from XXL on the evolution of the cluster X-ray properties and their scalingrelations, comparisons between the cluster populations detected viatheir X-ray emission or via their galaxy properties, and implications of Chandra follow-up observations for the contaminating AGN population in X-ray selected distant clusters. I will discuss the implications thatour work from XXL has for the study of distant clusters with Athena.
