Improved constraints on cosmic microwave background secondary anisotropies from the complete 2008 South Pole Telescope data
E. Shirokoff, C. L. Reichardt, L. Shaw +43
We report measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum from the complete 2008 South Pole Telescope (SPT) data set. We analyze twice as much data as the firs…
SPT-CL J0546-5345: A Massive z > 1 Galaxy Cluster Selected Via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with the South Pole Telescope
M. Brodwin, J. Ruel, P. A. R. Ade +64
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of SPT-CL J0546-5345 at <z> = 1.067. To date this is the most distant cluster to be spectroscopically confirmed from the 2008 South Pole Te…
X-ray Properties of the First SZE-selected Galaxy Cluster Sample from the South Pole Telescope
K. Andersson, B. A. Benson, P. A. R. Ade +59
We present results of X-ray observations of a sample of 15 clusters selected via their imprint on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) eff…
Modeling dielectric half-wave plates for cosmic microwave background polarimetry using a Mueller matrix formalism
Sean A. Bryan, Thomas E. Montroy, John E. Ruhl
We derive an analytic formula using the Mueller matrix formalism that parameterizes the nonidealities of a half-wave plate (HWP) made from dielectric antireflection-coated birefrin…
Optical Redshift and Richness Estimates for Galaxy Clusters Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 2008 South Pole Telescope Observations
F. W. High, B. Stalder, J. Song +68
We present redshifts and optical richness properties of 21 galaxy clusters uniformly selected by their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signature. These clusters, plus an additional, unconfirmed…
Galaxy Clusters Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 2008 South Pole Telescope Observations
K. Vanderlinde, T. M. Crawford, T. de Haan +56
We present a detection-significance-limited catalog of 21 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich selected galaxy clusters. These clusters, along with 1 unconfirmed candidate, were identified in 178 de…
