Measurement of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Increment in Massive Galaxy Clusters
Michael Zemcov, Mark Halpern, Colin Borys +4
We have detected the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) increment at 850 microns in two galaxy clusters (Cl 0016+16 and MS 1054.4-0321) using SCUBA (Sub-millimetre Common User Bolometer Array…
Design, Implementation and Testing of the MAP Radiometers
N. Jarosik, C. L. Bennett, M. Halpern +12
The Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) satellite, launched June 30, 2001, will produce full sky maps of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 5 frequency bands spanning 20 - 1…
Estimates of Confusion and Gravitational Lensing Limits in Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Increment Measurements
Michael Zemcov, Peter Newbury, Mark Halpern
We present estimates of the confusion limit of measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZ) increment near its peak intensity based on Monte Carlo simulations of sub-millimet…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Tests of Gaussianity
E. Komatsu, A. Kogut, M. Nolta +12
We present limits to the amplitude of non-Gaussian primordial fluctuations in the WMAP 1-year cosmic microwave background sky maps. A non-linear coupling parameter, f_NL, character…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Beam Profiles and Window Functions
L. Page, C. Barnes, G. Hinshaw +11
Knowledge of the beam profiles is of critical importance for interpreting data from cosmic microwave background experiments. In this paper, we present the characterization of the i…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Determination of Cosmological Parameters
D. N. Spergel, L. Verde, H. V. Peiris +14
WMAP precision data enables accurate testing of cosmological models. We find that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat Lambda-dominated universe seeded by nearly scale-…
