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…
Effects of Strong Gravitational Lensing on Millimeter-Wave Galaxy Number Counts
Yashar D. Hezaveh, Gilbert P. Holder
We study the effects of strong lensing on the observed number counts of mm sources using a ray tracing simulation and two number count models of unlensed sources. We employ a quant…
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…
The 21 cm Signature of Cosmic String Wakes
Robert H. Brandenberger, Rebecca J. Danos, Oscar F Hernandez +1
We discuss the signature of a cosmic string wake in 21cm redshift surveys. Since 21cm surveys probe higher redshifts than optical large-scale structure surveys, the signatures of c…
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…
