Abstract (from CDS):

We have observed the z =0.78 cluster MS 1137.5+6625 with the Ryle Telescope (RT) at 15GHz. After subtraction of contaminating radio sources in the field, we find a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich flux decrement of -421±60µJy on the ~0.65k λ baseline of the RT, spatially coincident with the optical and X-ray positions for the cluster core.

For a spherical King-profile cluster model, the best fit to our flux measurement has a core radius θC=20arcsec, consistent with previous X-ray observations, and a central temperature decrement ΔT =650±92µK.

Using this model, we calculate that the cluster has a gas mass inside a {formmu4} radius of 2.9x1013 M☉ for an ΩM=1 universe and 1.6x1013M☉ for ΩM=0.3, ΩΛ=0.7. We compare this model with existing measurements of the total mass of the cluster, based on gravitational lensing, and estimate a gas fraction for MS 1137.5+6625 of ~8 per cent.
