An Unbiased Measurement of Ho through Cosmic Background Imager Observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in Nearby Galaxy Clusters
P. S. Udomprasert, B. S. Mason, A. C. S. Readhead +1
We present Ho results from Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) in 7 galaxy clusters, A85, A399, A401, A478, A754, A1651, and A2597. T…
The radio source population at high frequency: follow-up of the 15-GHz 9C survey
R. C. Bolton, G. Cotter, G. G. Pooley +6
We have carried out extensive radio and optical follow-up of 176 sources from the 15 GHz 9th Cambridge survey. Optical identifications have been found for 155 of the radio sources;…
Vela X at 31 GHz
A. S. Hales, S. Casassus, H. Alvarez +6
We present observations of the Vela X region at 31 GHz using the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI). We find a strong compact radio source (5.9'x4.1', FWHM) about the Vela pulsar, whic…
CMB observations with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) Interferometer
C. R. Contaldi, J. R. Bond, D. Pogosyan +10
We review the recently published results from the CBI's first season of observations. Angular power spectra of the CMB were obtained from deep integrations of 3 single fields cover…
Cosmological Parameters from CMB measurements with the CBI
C. R. Contaldi, J. R. Bond, D. Pogosyan +10
We derive cosmological parameters from the CBI measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum. Our results provide an independent confirmation of the…
A Fast Gridded Method for the Estimation of the Power Spectrum of the CMB from Interferometer Data with Application to the Cosmic Background Imager
S. T. Myers, C. R. Contaldi, J. R. Bond +8
We describe an algorithm for the extraction of the angular power spectrum of an intensity field, such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), from interferometer data. This new m…
The Polatron: A Millimeter-Wave Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter for the OVRO 5.5 m Telescope
B. J. Philhour, B. G. Keating, P. A. R. Ade +16
We describe the development of a bolometric receiver designed to measure the arcminute-scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The Polatron will be mounted at…
Experiment Design and First Season Observations with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer
E. M. Leitch, C. Pryke, N. W. Halverson +14
We describe the instrumentation, experiment design and data reduction for the first season of observations with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI), a compact microwave…
The Hubble Constant from SZE Measurements in Low-Redshift Clusters
Brian S. Mason, Steven T. Myers, A. C. S. Readhead
We present a determination of the Hubble constant from measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) in an orientation-unbiased sample of 7 z < 0.1 galaxy clusters. With impro…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with the Cosmic Background Imager
P. S. Udomprasert, B. S. Mason, A. C. S. Readhead
We are engaged in a program with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), a 13-element interferometer recently installed at 5000 m in the Chilean Andes, to measure H_0 with 10% accuracy…
Mass Models and Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Predictions for a Flux Limited Sample of 22 Nearby X-Ray Clusters
Brian S. Mason, Steven T. Myers
We define a 90% complete, volume-limited sample of 31 z<0.1 x-ray clusters and present a systematic analysis of public ROSAT PSPC data on 22 of these objects. Our efforts are under…
An Absolute Flux Density Measurement of the Supernova Remnant Casseopia A at 32 GHz
Brian S. Mason, Erik M. Leitch, Steven T. Myers +2
We report 32 GHz absolute flux density measurements of the supernova remnant Cas A, with an accuracy of 2.5%. The measurements were made with the 1.5-meter telescope at the Owens V…
