Abstract

We present in this letter a high resolution (22'' FWHM) extended map at 2.1mm of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect toward the most luminous X-ray cluster, RXJ1347-1145. These observations have been performed with the DIABOLO photometer working at the focus of the 30m IRAM radiotelescope. We have derived a projected gas mass of M within an angular radius of (ie: projected radius of 0.6Mpc, km/s/Mpc, , ). This result matches very well the expected gas mass from the cluster models of X-ray data. With an unprecedented sensitivity level our measurement does not show significant departure from a spherical distribution. The data analysis also allows us to characterize the 2.1mm flux of a well known radio source lying in the center of the cluster: mJy.
