Hydrodynamical simulations of the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect: the kinetic effect
We use hydrodynamical N -body simulations to study the kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect. We construct sets of maps, one square degree in size, in three different cosmological models. We confirm earlier calculations that on the scales studied the kinetic effect is much smaller than the thermal (except close to the thermal null point), with an rms dispersion smaller by about a factor five in the...
متن کاملHydrodynamical simulations of the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect
With detections of the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) effect induced by galaxy clusters becoming routine, it is crucial to establish accurate theoretical predictions. We use a hydrodynamical N -body code to generate simulated maps, of size one square degree, of the thermal SZ effect. This is done for three different cosmologies — the currentlyfavoured low-density model with a cosmological constant, a ...
متن کاملThe Sunyaev - Zeldovich Effect
During passage through a cluster of galaxies some of the photons of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation are scattered by electrons in the hot intracluster (IC) gas. The scattering slightly modifies the incident Planck spectrum, imprinting on it a unique spectral signature that was first described by Sunyaev & Zeldovich (1972). [The impact of hypothetical hot intergalactic gas on the...
متن کاملKinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect from galaxy cluster rotation
We show how the temperature and the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background are affected by bulk rotation of clusters of galaxies owing to the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The main effects of rotation are (i) a shift of the position of the peak of the temperature fluctuation relative to the center of the cluster by a few percent of the core radius and (ii) a tilt of the direction o...
