cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersredshiftedgalaxiesinfrared-sourcessurveysWe present optical and infrared imaging and optical spectroscopy of galaxy clusters which were identified as part of an all-sky search for high-redshift galaxy clusters, the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS). The initial phase of MaDCoWS combined infrared data from the all-sky data release of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) with optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to select probable z~1 clusters of galaxies over an area of 10000deg^2^. Our spectroscopy confirms 19 new clusters at 0.7<z<1.3, half of which are at z>1, demonstrating the viability of using WISE to identify high-redshift galaxy clusters. The next phase of MaDCoWS will use the greater depth of the AllWISE data release to identify even higher redshift cluster candidates.2014ApJS..213...25Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/213/25CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/311 : WISE All-Sky Data Release (Cutri+ 2012)V/139 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 9 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2012)J/ApJS/209/22 : SSDF survey: IRAC catalogs (Ashby+, 2013)J/ApJ/763/127 : Galaxy clusters discovered in the SPT survey (Reichardt+, 2013)J/AJ/145/77 : Imaging & spectroscopy in 3 galaxy clusters (Jorgensen+, 2012)J/ApJ/743/34 : WISE and SDSS-DR7 data in 69 galaxy clusters (Chung+, 2011)J/ApJ/686/966 : Spitzer-FLS catalog of clusters of galaxies (Muzzin+, 2008)J/ApJ/684/905 : Galaxy clusters from IRAC Shallow Survey (Eisenhardt+, 2008)J/MNRAS/301/881 : The ROSAT brightest cluster sample - I.
