Cosmological Constraints from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-Selected Clusters with X-ray Observations in the First 178 Square Degrees of the South Pole Telescope Survey
B. A. Benson, T. de Haan, J. P. Dudley +73
We use measurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster survey in combination with X-ray measurements to constrain cosmological parameters. We prese…
Comparison of Pressure Profiles of Massive Relaxed Galaxy Clusters using Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and X-ray Data
Massimiliano Bonamente, Nicole Hasler, Esra Bulbul +19
We present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect observations of a sample of 25 massive relaxed galaxy clusters observed with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array (SZA), an 8-element interferomet…
The First Public Release of South Pole Telescope Data: Maps of a 95-square-degree Field from 2008 Observations
K. K. Schaffer, T. M. Crawford, K. A. Aird +40
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) has nearly completed a 2500-square-degree survey of the southern sky in three frequency bands. Here we present the first public release of SPT maps a…
A measurement of secondary cosmic microwave background anisotropies with two years of South Pole Telescope observations
C. L. Reichardt, L. Shaw, O. Zahn +46
We present the first three-frequency South Pole Telescope (SPT) cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra. The band powers presented here cover angular scales 2000 < ell < 94…
LoCuSS: The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and Weak Lensing Mass Scaling Relation
Daniel P. Marrone, Graham P. Smith, Nobuhiro Okabe +22
We present the first weak-lensing-based scaling relation between galaxy cluster mass, M_wl, and integrated Compton parameter Y_sph. Observations of 18 galaxy clusters at z~0.2 were…
A Measurement of the Damping Tail of the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum with the South Pole Telescope
R. Keisler, C. L. Reichardt, K. A. Aird +46
We present a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The data consist of 790 square degre…
South Pole Telescope Detections of the Previously Unconfirmed Planck Early SZ Clusters in the Southern Hemisphere
K. Story, K. A. Aird, K. Andersson +60
We present South Pole Telescope (SPT) observations of the five galaxy cluster candidates in the southern hemisphere which were reported as unconfirmed in the Planck Early Sunyaev-Z…
Discovery and Cosmological Implications of SPT-CL J2106-5844, the Most Massive Known Cluster at z > 1
R. J. Foley, K. Andersson, G. Bazin +70
Using the South Pole Telescope (SPT), we have discovered the most massive known galaxy cluster at z > 1, SPT-CL J2106-5844. In addition to producing a strong Sunyaev-Zel'dovich eff…
An SZ-selected sample of the most massive galaxy clusters in the 2500-square-degree South Pole Telescope survey
R. Williamson, B. A. Benson, F. W. High +72
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is currently surveying 2500 deg^2 of the southern sky to detect massive galaxy clusters out to the epoch of their formation using the Sunyaev-Zel'dov…
