Recent data taken with the 40-m telescope of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory at 20 GHz have confirmed the detections of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect towards three clusters of galaxies, 0016+16, Abell 665 and Abell 2218. Rough measurements of the angular scale of the effect have also been made, and a comparison of these with the X-ray observations supports an isothermal model for the cluster gas.
