The Quijote CMB Experiment
J. A. Rubino-Martin, R. Rebolo, M. Tucci +37
We present the current status of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) CMB Experiment, a new instrument which will start operations early 2009 at Teide Observatory, with the aim of ch…
The QUIJOTE experiment: project overview and first results
R. Génova-Santos, J. A. Rubiño-MartÃn, R. Rebolo +50
QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) is a new polarimeter aimed to characterize the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and other Galactic and extragalactic signals at medium…
Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei
M. J. Valtonen, S. Mikkola, D. Merritt +7
Supermassive black holes are common in centers of galaxies. Among the active galaxies, quasars are the most extreme, and their black hole masses range as high as to $6\cdot 10^{10}…
Mapping of the SZ effect in the cluster Cl 0016+16 with the Ryle Telescope
K. Grainge, W. F. Grainger, M. E. Jones +3
We have mapped the high-redshift (z = 0.546) cluster Cl 0016+16 with the Ryle Telescope at 15 GHz. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich decrement is clearly detected, and resolved. We combine ou…
Measuring Black Hole Spin in OJ287
M. Valtonen, S. Mikkola, H. J. Lehto +8
We model the binary black hole system OJ287 as a spinning primary and a non-spinning secondary. It is assumed that the primary has an accretion disk which is impacted by the second…
High-significance Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurement: Abell 1914 seen with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager
AMI Collaboration, R. Barker, P. Biddulph +47
We report the first detection of a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (S-Z) decrement with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI). We have made commissioning observations towards the cluster A1914…
Measuring the spin of the primary black hole in OJ287
M. J. Valtonen, S. Mikkola, D. Merritt +7
The compact binary system in OJ287 is modelled to contain a spinning primary black hole with an accretion disk and a non-spinning secondary black hole. Using Post Newtonian (PN) ac…
The QUIJOTE CMB Experiment: status and first results with the multi-frequency instrument
M. López-Caniego, R. Rebolo, M. Aguiar +49
The QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint Tenerife) CMB Experiment is designed to observe the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and other Galactic and extragalactic signals at medium…
