摘要
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 H-0 of 77(-15)(+19) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) (1sigma errors) for an Einstein-de Sitter universe, or 85(-17)(+20) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) for a flat model with Omega(Lambda)=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.
