Abstract (from CDS):

We report the first detection of a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (S-Z) decrement using the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI). We have made commissioning observations towards the cluster of galaxies A1914 and detected the S-Z effect with a significance of 17σ in a uv-tapered map at a mean frequency of 15.75 GHz. The integrated S-Z flux density of -8.6±0.5 mJy is consistent with a simple X-ray derived model for the intracluster gas. We find that the spectrum of the decrement, measured in the six channels between 13.5-18 GHz, fits well to that expected for the S-Z effect. The sensitivity of the telescope is consistent with the figures used in our simulations of cluster surveys with AMI.
