Title: High Resolution Cluster Pressure Profile Measurements with MUSTANG and BOLOCAM
Date: Monday, July 28th, 2014
Time: 11:30
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract: We present results from a sub-sample of four of the CLASH clusters observed with both MUSTANG (90 GHz bolometer array on the GBT) and Bolocam (150 GHz bolometer array on the CSO). Bolocam and MUSTANG data probe different size scales and are highly complementary. We jointly fit3-dimensional pressure profiles to the two datasets and find thatthe addition of the high resolution MUSTANG data considerably improve constraints on the pressure profiles. We compare our best fit profiles to X-ray determined pressure profiles (provided by ACCEPT). Finally we describe ongoing work to extend this analysis to the full set of CLASH clusters viewable by the GBT, and to obtain even better results with the MUSTANG-1.5 camera to be commissioned in Fall of 2014.
