Cosmic ray detection was performed in stacks with the same dither position. ... At each pixel CRREJ looks at the stack of frames and selects some initial pixel value, which can be the minimum or the median across the stack. ... For these suspect pixels, the thresholds are multiplied by a parameter PFAC which can be anything from zero, meaning that all suspects are automatically rejected, to one. ... The pixel values for pixels thrown out by a PFAC=0 choice, but not by PFAC=0.5 choice were compared. ...

Observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich E ect toward CL0016+16 at 43 GHz M. Tsuboi et al. Ibaraki University, Japan We performed a mapping observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich e ect toward a distant cluster of galaxies, CL0016+16, at 43 GHz using a newly developed 6-beam SIS receiver installed in the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The temperature decrement of the cosmic microwave background radiation was measured to be
