Description

We describe recent observations of massive, high redshift clusters of galaxies, and show that they appear to be in tension with best fit WMAP 7 LCDM cosmological parameters. We show that we can alleviate the tension by introducing the non Gaussianity parameter fnl. We discuss other recent work on these massive objects.
