Extract
The combination of X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (S-Z) effect observations toward cluster of galaxies gives the independent estimation of Hubble constant (Sunyaev and Zel'dovich 1970). The measurement of S-Z effect is one of the most difficult observations in radioastronomy because of the weakness of the effect, ΔT = 0.1 × 1 mK (e.g. Rephaeli 1995). Because the field of view of the exist interferometers is smaller than the extended distribution of S-Z effect of low redshifted clusters, single-dish telescopes gain an advantage over interferometers. In addition, to reduce the contaminations from Galaxy and galaxies in the cluster, the mm-wave observation is preferable. Thus, we have started the project of S-Z effect observation with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope, which is the largest mm-wave telescope in the world. Our scientific goal is reliable measurement of S-Z effect of many clusters. To realize this we have made a multi-feed PCTJ-SIS mixer receiver at 40 GHz as a sophisticated tool for the observation of S-Z effect (Noguchi et al. 1995, Kasuga et al. 1995, Tsuboi et al. 1997).
