Abstract (from CDS):

Using a combination of near-infrared and optical photometry, along with multiobject spectroscopy, we have confirmed the existence of a high-redshift cluster of galaxies at z=0.96. The cluster was found using a wide-angle-tailed radio source selected from the VLA FIRST survey as a cluster signpost. These types of radio sources are often found in clusters and are thought to attain their C-shaped morphologies from the relative motion between the radio source host galaxy and the intracluster medium. We present optical/near-infrared color-magnitude diagrams that show a concentration of cluster galaxies in color space. We also include spectroscopic results obtained from the Keck II Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. Ten galaxies are confirmed at the cluster redshift, with a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of σ||=530+190–90km/s, typical of an Abell richness class 0 cluster. Using data from the ROSAT public archive, we limit the X-ray luminosity for the cluster to LX,bol≲3x1044 ergs/s, consistent with the value expected from the LX-σ relation.
