Measurements of Secondary Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies with the South Pole Telescope

M. Lueker, C. L. Reichardt, K. K. Schaffer +40

We report cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum measurements from the first 100 sq. deg. field observed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at 150 and 220 GHz. On angular…

Angular Power Spectra of the Millimeter Wavelength Background Light from Dusty Star-forming Galaxies with the South Pole Telescope

N. R. Hall, L. Knox, C. L. Reichardt +41

We use data from the first 100 square-degree field observed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) in 2008 to measure the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropies contributed…

A Method for Individual Source Brightness Estimation in Single- and Multi-band Data

T. M. Crawford, E. R. Switzer, W. L. Holzapfel +3

We present a method of reliably extracting the flux of individual sources from sky maps in the presence of noise and a source population in which number counts are a steeply fallin…

Extragalactic millimeter-wave sources in South Pole Telescope survey data: source counts, catalog, and statistics for an 87 square-degree field

J. D. Vieira, T. M. Crawford, E. R. Switzer +52

We report the results of an 87 square-degree point-source survey centered at R.A. 5h30m, decl. -55 deg. taken with the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at 1.4 and 2.0 mm wavelengths with…

Non-parametric modeling of the intra-cluster gas using APEX-SZ bolometer imaging data

K. Basu, Y. -Y. Zhang, M. W. Sommer +23

We demonstrate the usability of mm-wavelength imaging data obtained from the APEX-SZ bolometer array to derive the radial temperature profile of the hot intra-cluster gas out to ra…

Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Cluster Profiles Measured with the South Pole Telescope

T. Plagge, B. A. Benson, P. A. R. Ade +42

We present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements of 15 massive X-ray selected galaxy clusters obtained with the South Pole Telescope. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster signals are meas…
