Description

The results of multiwavelength observations of the very massive galaxy cluster SRGe CL2305.2-2248 detected in X-rays during the first SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey are discussed. This galaxy cluster has also been detected previously in the millimeter band in the South Pole Telescope (SPT-CL J2305-2248) and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT-CL J2305.1-2248) surveys through the observation of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The spectroscopic redshift has been measured at the 6-m BTA telescope, z = 0.7573. In addition, deep photometric measurements of galaxies have been performed at the Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope (RTT-150). The mass of the cluster is estimated from the eROSITA data to be M-500 = (9.0 +/- 2.5) x 10(14) M-circle dot. We show that this cluster is among several tens of the most massive clusters in the observable Universe and among only a few most massive galaxy clusters at z > 0.6.
