Abstract (from CDS):

We present a determination of the Hubble constant and central electron density in the cluster Abell 1835 (z=0.2523) from measurements of X-ray emission and millimeter-wave observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) effect with the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Infrared Experiment (SuZIE) multifrequency array receiver. Abell 1835 is a well studied cluster in the X-ray with a large central cooling flow. Using a combination of data from ROSAT PSPC and HRI images and millimeter wave measurements we fit a King model to the emission from the ionized gas around Abell 1835 with θ0=0'.22±0'.02 and β=0.58±0.02. Assuming the cluster gas to be isothermal with a temperature of 9.8+2.3–1.3 keV, we find a y-parameter of 4.9±0.6x10–4 and a peculiar velocity of 500±1000 km.s–1 from measurements at three frequencies, 145, 221, and 279 GHz. Combining the S-Z measurements with X-ray data, we determine a value for the Hubble constant of H0=59+38–28 km.s–1.Mpc–1 and a central electron density for Abell 1835 of ne0=5.64+1.61–1.02x10–2 cm–3 assuming a standard cosmology with Ωm=1 and ΩΛ=0. The error in the determination of the Hubble constant is dominated by the uncertainty in the temperature of the X-ray emitting cluster gas.
