Abstract (from CDS):
We present new Ryle Telescope (RT) observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) decrement from the cluster Abell 773. The field contains a number of faint radio sources that required careful subtraction. We use ASCA observations to measure the gas temperature and a ROSAT HRI image to model the gas density distribution. Normalizing the gas distribution to fit the RT visibilities returns a value of H0of 77+19–15km/s/Mpc (1σ errors) for an Einstein-de Sitter universe, or 85+20–17km/s/Mpc for a flat model with ΩΛ= 0.7. The errors quoted include estimates of the effects of the principal errors: noise in the SZ measurement, gas temperature uncertainty and line-of-sight depth uncertainty.
