Abstract

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 HQ of 77_-15⁺¹⁹ km s^-1 Mpc^-1 (1σ errors) for an Einstein - de Sitter universe, or 85_-17⁺²⁰ km s^-1 Mpc^-1 for a flat model with Ω_A = 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.
