Abstract:
    We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic study of two
    high-redshift clusters of galaxies based on data obtained from the
    Keck 10m telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The clusters Cl
    0023+0423 (z=0.84) and Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.90) are part of a
    multiwavelength program of Oke, Postman & Lubin (1998AJ....116..549O,
    Paper I) to study nine candidate clusters at z>~0.6. Based on these
    observations, we study in detail both the field and cluster
    populations. From the confirmed cluster members, we find that
    Cl 0023+0423 actually consists of two components separated by
    ~2900km/s. A kinematic analysis indicates that the two components are
    a poor cluster with ~3x10^14^M_{sun}_ and a less massive group with
    ~10^13^M_{sun}_. Cl 1604+4304 is a centrally concentrated, rich
    cluster at z=0.8967 with a velocity dispersion of 1226km/s and a mass
    of ~3x10^15^M_{sun}_.

Note (2): 1: redshift possible
          2: redshift probably correct
          3: redshift almost certainly correct
          4: redshift is certain
Note (3): The equivalent widths are positive if the line is in absorption,
           and negative if the line is in emission.
Note (4): The break amplitude is based on the flux between 3400{AA} and
           4280{AA}. Two continuum bands, one from 3400-3700{AA} and the other
           from 4050-4280{AA}, are defined. The flux in each band is fitted and
           the ratio of two fits evaluated at 3850{AA} defines the jump
Note (5): Ratio of the integrated flux per unit wavelength in the rest band
           4050-4250{AA} to that in the rest band 3750-3950{AA}
           (Bruzual, 1983ApJ...273..105B).
