They report, using a combined spectral fit of cluster sub-
samples indifferentredshift bins,that the meanFe abun-
dance at z ∼ 0.8 is Z = 0.25+−00..0046Z⊙, consistent with the
local metallicity value. Unfortunately, for clusters at red-
shift z > 1, they could only provide weak constraints for
the metallicity (Z = 0.21+−00..1025Z⊙ )even after combining
four clusters.
The cluster RXJ1053.7+5735, which shows an un-
usual double-lobed X-ray morphology, was discovered
during our deep (1.31 Msec) ROSAT HRI pointings
(Hasinger et al. 1998a), in the direction of the “Lockman
Hole”, a line of sight with exceptionally low HI column
density.Theangularsizeofthesourceis1.7×0.7arcmin2

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the cluster RXJ1053.7+5735
shows a clearly double-lobed structure, which extends
roughly in the east-west direction. Using a circular (ra-
