Intra cluster medium properties and AGN distribution in high-z RCS clusters

Context. The study of the thermodynamical and chemical properties of the intra cluster medium (ICM) in high redshift clusters of galaxies is a powerful tool for investigating the formation and evolution of large scale structures. Here we discuss the X-ray properties of clusters of galaxies optically selected in the red-sequence cluster survey (RCS) observed with the Chandra satellite, at redshifts 0.6 1. Finally, we find the significant excess of medium and low luminosity AGN close to the centroid of the X-ray emission. Their X-ray emission is not dominating the ICM, but their presence may be relevant for studying the interaction between AGN and ICM.
