Abstract
Observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) effect offer the possibility of both investigating evolution of clusters and of determining cosmological parameters when combined with X-ray observations. We describe a dedicated instrument (MITO) consisting of a 2.6-m in diameter telescope operating at 3500 m a.s.l. in the 2.1, 1.4, 1.1 and 0.8 mm channels with ˜ 10% bandwidths. Here we briefly report the results of MITO measurements towards the Coma cluster.
