Polarization Angle Swings in Blazars Detected in the Millimeter-wave with the South Pole Telescope

A. Simpson, E. Anderes, A. J. Anderson +93

We present the first systematic search for electric vector position angle (EVPA) swings in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) emission of blazars, using five years of observations from…

Simultaneous Millimeter-wave, Gamma-ray, and Optical Monitoring of the Blazar PKS 2326-502 During a Flaring State

J. C. Hood, A. Simpson, A. McDaniel +66

Including millimeter-wave (mm-wave) data in multi-wavelength studies of the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can provide insights into AGN physics that are not easily ac…

Detection of Galactic and Extragalactic Millimeter-Wavelength Transient Sources with SPT-3G

S. Guns, A. Foster, C. Daley +119

High-angular-resolution cosmic microwave background experiments provide a unique opportunity to conduct a survey of time-variable sources at millimeter wavelengths, a population wh…

An X-ray Detection of Star Formation In a Highly Magnified Giant Arc

M. B. Bayliss, M. McDonald, K. Sharon +19

In the past decade, our understanding of how stars and galaxies formed during the first 5 billion years after the Big Bang has been revolutionized by observations that leverage gra…

A Detailed Study of the Most Relaxed SPT-Selected Galaxy Clusters: Cool Core and Central Galaxy Properties

M. McDonald, S. W. Allen, J. Hlavacek-Larrondo +14

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the four most relaxed clusters in the South Pole Telescope 2500 deg^2 survey, which lie at 0.55 < z < 0.75. This study, which utilizes new…

Millimeter Transient Point Sources in the SPTpol 100 Square Degree Survey

N. Whitehorn, T. Natoli, P. A. R. Ade +55

The millimeter transient sky is largely unexplored, with measurements limited to follow-up of objects detected at other wavelengths. High-angular-resolution telescopes designed for…

X-ray cavities in a sample of 83 SPT-selected clusters of galaxies: Tracing the evolution of AGN feedback in clusters of galaxies out to z=1.2

J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, M. McDonald, B. A. Benson +16

X-ray cavities are key tracers of mechanical (or radio mode) heating arising from the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in brightest cluster galaxies. We report on a survey for X-ray ca…

The Redshift Evolution of the Mean Temperature, Pressure, and Entropy Profiles in 80 SPT-Selected Galaxy Clusters

M. McDonald, B. A. Benson, A. Vikhlinin +63

(Abridged) We present the results of an X-ray analysis of 80 galaxy clusters selected in the 2500 deg^2 South Pole Telescope survey and observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory.…
