Abstract
Correlated measurements of redshifted iron line emission and apparent surface brightness are suggested for unambiguously defining intrinsic X-ray characteristics for clusters of galaxies up to z not less than 1. If some of the weak unidentified high-galactic-latitude X-ray sources are clusters at z roughly equal to 1-3, then such correlated measurements should be feasible within the complement of instruments aboard the HEAO-B orbiting X-ray telescope observatory. In addition, those clusters at z less than 1 would require spectral data from broader bandwidth experiments, such as the all-sky survey to be provided by the proportional counters aboard the first mission of the High Energy Astronomy Observatory (HEAO-A).
