This proposal requests observing time to determine the properties of sources detected in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Survey (SPT-SZ). This is a deep millimeter-wave survey at 90, 150 and 220 GHz of the extragalactic sky south of decl = -30 degrees from RA = 22h to 24h and 0h to 7h. Among the objects detected are submillimeter-bright galaxies and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from clusters of galaxies. In this proposal, we request observing time to observe these newly-detected objects. During the best observing weather, we will observe about 40 SMGs at 3mm to determine accurate positions. This will allow positive optical identification of these objects and is essential to their further study. During less-than-optimal weather, we will observe SZ-selected clusters at 12mm to determine the log N - log S relation for AGNs inside the cluster galaxies. This information will be used to better understand the dynamics of galaxy clusters, and possibly indicate corrections needed in the cluster method for the determination of cosmological parameters.
