|a We present results of X-ray observations of a sample of 15 clusters selected via their imprint on the cosmic microwave background from the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. These clusters are a subset of the first SZ-selected cluster catalog, obtained from observations of 178 deg[superscript 2] of sky surveyed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Using X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton, we estimate the temperature, T[subscript X], and mass, M[subscript g], of the intracluster medium within r [subscript 500] for each cluster. From these, we calculate Y[subscript X] = M[subscript g]T[subscript X] and estimate the total cluster mass using an M [subscript 500]-Y[subscript X] scaling relation measured from previous X-ray studies. The integrated Comptonization, Y [subscript SZ], is derived from the SZ measurements, using additional information from the X-ray-measured gas density profiles and a universal temperature profile. We calculate scaling relations between the X-ray and SZ observables and find results generally consistent with other measurements and the expectations from simple self-similar behavior. Specifically, we fit a Y [subscript SZ]-Y[subscript X] relation and find a normalization of 0.82 ± 0.07, marginally consistent with the predicted ratio of Y [subscript SZ]/Y[subscript X] = 0.91 ± 0.01 that would be expected from the density and temperature models used in this work. Using the Y[subscript X]-derived mass estimates, we fit a Y [subscript SZ]-M [subscript 500] relation and find a slope consistent with the self-similar expectation of Y [subscript SZ]∝M [superscript 5/3] with a normalization consistent with predictions from other X-ray studies. We find that the SZ mass estimates, derived from cosmological simulations of the SPT survey, are lower by a factor of 0.78 ± 0.06 relative to the X-ray mass estimates. This offset is at a level of 1.3σ when considering the ~15% systematic uncertainty for the simulation-based SZ masses. Overall, the X-ray measurements confirm that the scaling relations of the SZ-selected clusters are consistent with the properties of other X-ray-selected samples of massive clusters, even allowing for the broad redshift range (0.29 < z < 1.08) of the sample.
