J. et al.(1985). This region contains 29 clusters of galaxies within 3deg radius centered at (347.5,22) and cluster members are distributed in the range z=0.07 to 0.23, which corresponds to about 100Mpc deep and 10Mpc wide. We can see through the "cluster chain" effectively in this region. Number density of clusters in this region is at least 1 order of magnitude higher than averaged value(z<0.2). High cluster density can accelarate merging process which creates many evolved(high temperature) clusters in the X-ray band. We can study these cosmological effect in this region. For this purpose, we selected 6 clusters with 3 pointings in this region.
