The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: the Laboca/act Survey of Clusters at All Redshifts

چکیده
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 11 Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect (SZE)-selected galaxy clusters (10 with new data) from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) southern survey. We have obtained new imaging from the Large APEX Bolometer Camera (345 GHz; LABOCA) on the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope, the Australia Telescope Compact Array (2.1 GHz; ATCA), and the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (250, 350, and 500 μm; SPIRE) on the Herschel Space Observatory. Spatially resolved 345 GHz SZE increments with integrated signal-to-noise ratio > (S N) 5 are found in six clusters. We compute 2.1 GHz number counts as a function of cluster-centric radius and find significant enhancements in the counts of bright sources at projected radii q q < c 2500 . By extrapolating in frequency, we predict that the combined signals from 2.1 GHzselected radio sources and 345 GHz-selected submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) contaminate the 148 GHz SZE decrement signal by ∼5% and the 345 GHz SZE increment by ∼18%. After removing radio source and SMG emission from the SZE signals, we use ACT, LABOCA, and (in some cases) new Herschel SPIRE imaging to place constraints on the clusters’ peculiar velocities. The sample’s average peculiar velocity relative to the cosmic microwave background is á ñ = v 153 383 km s p 1.

We present the optical and X-ray properties of four clusters recently discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE). The four clusters are located in one of the common survey areas of the southern sky that is also being targeted by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and imaged by the CTIO Blanco 4-m telescope. Based on publicly available griz optical ...

We report on 23 clusters detected blindly as Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) decrements in a 148 GHz, 455 deg2 map of the southern sky made with data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2008 observing season. All SZ detections announced in this work have confirmed optical counterparts. Ten of the clusters are new discoveries. One newly discovered cluster, ACT-CL J0102−4915, with a redshift of 0.75 (ph...

Four large-area Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) experiments—APEX-SZ, South Pole Telescope, Atacama Cosmology Telescope, and Planck—promise to detect clusters of galaxies through the distortion of cosmic microwave background photons by hot (>106 K) cluster gas (the SZ effect) over thousands of square degrees. A large observational follow-up effort to obtain redshifts for these SZ-detected clusters is und...
