Discovery of the X-ray selected galaxy cluster XMMU J0338.8+0021 at z = 1.49. Indications of a young system with a brightest galaxy in formation

We report the discovery of a galaxy cluster at z = 1.490 originally selected as an extended X-ray source in the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project. Further observations carried out with the VLT-FORS2 spectrograph allowed the spectroscopic confirmation of seven secure cluster members, providing a med...
