Detection of a cosmic microwave background decrement toward the z=3.8 quasar pair PC 1643+4631A, B
- Abstract:
-
In a 15 GHz Ryle Telescope observation of PC 1643+4631A, B, a pair of quasars at redshifts z = 3.79 and 3.83 separated by 198″ on the sky, we find a decrement in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) of -380 ± 64 μJy in a 110″ × 175″ beam. Assuming this to be a Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect due to an intervening cluster, the minimum magnitude of the central temperature decrement is 560 μK. A serendipitous ROSAT observation shows that there is no X-ray-luminous cluster in the direction of the decre...
