The 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...
متن کاملThe Kinetic Sunyaev-zel’dovitch Effect as a Dark Energy Probe
Upcoming observatories will be able to detect the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovitch (kSZ) effect with unprecendented signal-to-noise, and cross-correlations with foreground signals such as galaxy counts are a promising way to extract additional cosmological information. We consider how well a tomographic galaxy-count cross-correlation experiment, using data from WMAP, ACT and SALT, can significantly ...
متن کاملReconstructing the Peak Distribution in the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Surveys
We examine the ability of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) statistics proposed by Lee (2002) using numerical simulations. The statistics describe the distribution of the peak heights in the noise-contaminated SZE sky maps, and provide an analysis technique to sort out the noise-contamination effect and estimate the number density of real clusters. The method is devised to be suitable for the...
