[75.06] A determination of H0 from CBI Observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in Nearby Clusters

P. S. Udomprasert, B. S. Mason, A. C. S. Readhead (Caltech)

With the Cosmic Background Imager, a 13-element interferometer located in the Chilean Andes, we are conducting a study to determine H0 with 10% accuracy through observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in a complete sample of low redshift (z<0.1) clusters. We present our first H0 results from a subsample of clusters using new CBI observations and published X-ray data from ROSAT and ASCA.
