The Southern SHARC Survey: the z = 0.3-0.7 Cluster X-Ray Luminosity Function

We present the z = 0.3-0.7 cluster X-ray luminosity function (XLF) determined from the Southern Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) survey. Over the luminosity range L ~ (0.3-3) × 1044 ergs s-1 (0.5-2.0 keV), the XLF is in close agreement with that of the low-redshift X-ray cluster population. This result greatly strengthens our previous claim of no evolution of the cluster population, at these luminosities, at a median redshift of z=0.44.
