The WARPS survey for faint clusters of galaxiesThe wide angle Rosat pointed survey (WARPS) of clusters is based on the Rosat position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) archive of pointed observations. It includes extended X-ray sources and point-like X-ray sources with non-stellar optical counterparts. It was designed to minimize the selection effects while covering a large area of the sky. The purposes of the survey were to measure the low luminosity, high redshift, X-ray luminosity function of clusters and groups and to investigate cluster morphologies and unusual systems.
