Constraints on Cosmology from the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum of the 2500 SPT-SZ Survey
Z. Hou, C. L. Reichardt, K. T. Story +49
We explore extensions to the CDM cosmology using measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the recent SPT-SZ survey, along with data from WMAP7 and measurements…
Performance and on-sky optical characterization of the SPTpol instrument
E. M. George, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +62
In January 2012, the 10m South Pole Telescope (SPT) was equipped with a polarization-sensitive camera, SPTpol, in order to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwa…
SPTpol: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements with the South Pole Telescope
J. E. Austermann, K. A. Aird, J. A. Beall +58
SPTpol is a dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera that was deployed on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol will measure the polarization anisotropy of…
Feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter camera modules at 150 GHz for CMB polarization measurements with SPTpol
J. W. Henning, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a dichroic polarimetric receiver at 90 and 150 GHz. Deployed in January 2012 on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol is looking for faint polarization signal…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
South Pole Telescope Software Systems: Control, Monitoring, and Data Acquisition
K. Story, E. Leitch, P. Ade +64
We present the software system used to control and operate the South Pole Telescope. The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter millimeter-wavelength telescope designed to measure anis…
A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Damping Tail from the 2500-square-degree SPT-SZ survey
K. T. Story, C. L. Reichardt, Z. Hou +47
We present a measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature power spectrum using data from the recently completed South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ)…
A Massive, Cooling-Flow-Induced Starburst in the Core of a Highly Luminous Galaxy Cluster
M. McDonald, M. Bayliss, B. A. Benson +83
In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of…
Submillimeter Observations of Millimeter Bright Galaxies Discovered by the South Pole Telescope
T. R. Greve, J. D. Vieira, A. Weiss +65
We present APEX SABOCA 350micron and LABOCA 870micron observations of 11 representative examples of the rare, extremely bright (S_1.4mm > 15mJy), dust-dominated millimeter-selected…
SPT-CL J0205-5829: A z = 1.32 Evolved Massive Galaxy Cluster in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Survey
B. Stalder, J. Ruel, R. Suhada +80
The galaxy cluster SPT-CL J0205-5829 currently has the highest spectroscopically-confirmed redshift, z=1.322, in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. XMM-Ne…
Weak-Lensing Mass Measurements of Five Galaxy Clusters in the South Pole Telescope Survey Using Magellan/Megacam
F. W. High, H. Hoekstra, N. Leethochawalit +83
We use weak gravitational lensing to measure the masses of five galaxy clusters selected from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey, with the primary goal of comparing these with t…
Galaxy clusters discovered via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the first 720 square degrees of the South Pole Telescope survey
C. L. Reichardt, B. Stalder, L. E. Bleem +77
We present a catalog of 224 galaxy cluster candidates, selected through their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signature in the first 720 deg2 of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) surve…
A Measurement of the Correlation of Galaxy Surveys with CMB Lensing Convergence Maps from the South Pole Telescope
L. E. Bleem, A. van Engelen, G. P. Holder +68
We compare cosmic microwave background lensing convergence maps derived from South Pole Telescope (SPT) data with galaxy survey data from the Blanco Cosmology Survey, the Wide-fiel…
A measurement of gravitational lensing of the microwave background using South Pole Telescope data
A. van Engelen, R. Keisler, O. Zahn +47
We use South Pole Telescope data from 2008 and 2009 to detect the non-Gaussian signature in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) produced by gravitational lensing and to measure t…
