Resubmission of PhaseII. The ORIENT constraint for visit2 is changed to the same of visit1. Grism integrations
are slightly shorter after choice of a different reading sequence. This should allow easier scheduling.

There are remaining warnings about 'visibility overrun'. However this is much reduced

WFC3 spectroscopy of an X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z>2
We propose to obtain deep WFC3+G141 grism observations to spectroscopically confirm a remarkable z>2 cluster of galaxy candidate. Over a 1000 arcmin^2 field imaged with Spitzer’s IRAC we have discovered a compact (<30’’ diameter) concentration of extremely red galaxies with a factor of >40 overdensity over the adjacent field. Among these galaxies for which we can derive meaningful photometric redshifts, 17 are consistent with zphot=2-2.5, making it very likely that the concentration is a real cluster at such high redshift. This is further supported by a 3.5 sigma detection of extended X-Ray emission on XMM-Newton data, by a likely color−magnitude sequence of red galaxies, and by the presence of a giant galaxy consistent with a BCG at the cluster redshift. The general faintness of the red galaxies in all optical bands and their high redshifts prevent confirmation of this cluster with ordinary optical spectroscopy. The WFC3 camera with G141 grism provides the only way to confirm this record high-z cluster and measure its redshift from spectral breaks typical of old stellar populations. Our deep integrations will reveal redshifts for at least 19 ultra-red galaxies in the area and of a similar number of bluer galaxies at the cluster redshift. Knowledge of the cluster redshift based on the HST spectra will allow us to reach important scientific aims: find the most distant X−ray emitting evolved galaxy cluster, determine membership of the other galaxies from photometric SED analysis, study their stellar population properties, characterize the color-magnitude relation with constraints on the formation redshift. The proposed observations will establish a first z>2 benchmark for cluster−field comparisons of galaxy formation at this highest redshift and will firmly establish the progenitors of local rich Abell clusters.
The project is taking a 18 orbit long WFC3/IR+G141 spectroscopy at the location of
a concentration of red high redshift galaxies
