We have measured the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect for a sample of ten strong lensing selected galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev Zel'dovich Array (SZA). The SZA is sensitive to structures on spatial scales of a few arcminutes, while the…

In cosmological structure formation models, massive non-linear objects in the process of formation, such as galaxy clusters, are surrounded by large-scale shocks at or around the expected virial radius. Direct observational evidence for…
