Cosmological Constraints from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-Selected Clusters with X-ray Observations in the First 178 Square Degrees of the South Pole Telescope Survey

B. A. Benson, T. de Haan, J. P. Dudley +73

We use measurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster survey in combination with X-ray measurements to constrain cosmological parameters. We prese…

Frequency Multiplexed SQUID Readout of Large Bolometer Arrays for Cosmic Microwave Background Measurements

M. A. Dobbs, M. Lueker, K. A. Aird +44

A technological milestone for experiments employing Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers operating at sub-kelvin temperature is the deployment of detector arrays with 100s--1000…

Distributive laws for Lawvere theories

Eugenia Cheng

Distributive laws give a way of combining two algebraic structures expressed as monads; in this paper we propose a theory of distributive laws for combining algebraic structures ex…

The First Public Release of South Pole Telescope Data: Maps of a 95-square-degree Field from 2008 Observations

K. K. Schaffer, T. M. Crawford, K. A. Aird +40

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) has nearly completed a 2500-square-degree survey of the southern sky in three frequency bands. Here we present the first public release of SPT maps a…

Cosmic microwave background constraints on the duration and timing of reionization from the South Pole Telescope

O. Zahn, C. L. Reichardt, L. Shaw +48

The epoch of reionization is a milestone of cosmological structure formation, marking the birth of the first objects massive enough to yield large numbers of ionizing photons. The…

A measurement of secondary cosmic microwave background anisotropies with two years of South Pole Telescope observations

C. L. Reichardt, L. Shaw, O. Zahn +46

We present the first three-frequency South Pole Telescope (SPT) cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra. The band powers presented here cover angular scales 2000 < ell < 94…

A Measurement of the Damping Tail of the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum with the South Pole Telescope

R. Keisler, C. L. Reichardt, K. A. Aird +46

We present a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The data consist of 790 square degre…

Fermi Edge Resonances in Non-equilibrium States of Fermi Gases

E. Bettelheim, Y. Kaplan, P. Wiegmann

We formulate the problem of the Fermi Edge Singularity in non-equilibrium states of a Fermi gas as a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem with an integrable kernel. This formulation is t…

South Pole Telescope Detections of the Previously Unconfirmed Planck Early SZ Clusters in the Southern Hemisphere

K. Story, K. A. Aird, K. Andersson +60

We present South Pole Telescope (SPT) observations of the five galaxy cluster candidates in the southern hemisphere which were reported as unconfirmed in the Planck Early Sunyaev-Z…

An SZ-selected sample of the most massive galaxy clusters in the 2500-square-degree South Pole Telescope survey

R. Williamson, B. A. Benson, F. W. High +72

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is currently surveying 2500 deg^2 of the southern sky to detect massive galaxy clusters out to the epoch of their formation using the Sunyaev-Zel'dov…
