Sunyaev-zel’dovich Effects from Quasars in Galaxies and Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
The energy fed by active galactic nuclei to the surrounding diffuse baryons changes their amount, temperature, and distribution; so in groups and in member galaxies it affects the X-ray luminosity and also the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect. Here we compute how the latter is enhanced by the transient blastwave driven by an active quasar, and is depressed when the equilibrium is recovered with a depleted density. We constrain such depressions and enhancements with the masses of relic black holes in galaxies and the X-ray luminosities in groups. We discuss how all these linked observables can tell the quasar contribution to the thermal history of the baryons pervading galaxies and groups. Subject headings: cosmic microwave background galaxies: clusters: general quasars: general

Sunyaev-zel’dovich Effects from Quasars Shining in Galaxies and Groups
The energy fed by active galactic nuclei to the surrounding diffuse baryons changes the latter’s amount, temperature, and distribution; so in groups and in member galaxies it affects the X-ray luminosity and also the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect. Here we compute how the latter is enhanced by the transient blastwave driven by a shining quasar, and is depressed when the equilibrium is recovered with...
متن کاملRelativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-zel’dovich Effect for Clusters of Galaxies. Ii. Inclusion of Peculiar Velocities
We extend the formalism of the relativistic thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect to the system moving with a velocity ~ β ≡ ~v/c with respect to the cosmic microwave background radiation. In the present formalism, the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect for the cluster of galaxies with a peculiar velocity ~ β is derived in a straightforward manner by the Lorentz boost of the generalized Kompaneets...
متن کاملThe Sunyaev-zel’dovich Effect
The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect causes a change in the apparent brightness of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation towards a cluster of galaxies or any other reservoir of hot plasma. Measurements of the effect provide distinctly different information about cluster properties than X-ray imaging data, while combining X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect data leads to new insights into the struc...
متن کاملMultiplicity functions and X-ray emission of clusters and groups versus galaxies and quasars
We use a unified analytical formulation developed in previous papers for the multiplicity functions of clusters and galaxies. This method is free from the cloud-in-cloud problem encountered in earlier approaches and well adapted to the description of the non-linear clustering features. It is especially suited to simultane ously describe rich clusters, groups and galaxies, consistently with the ...
متن کاملRelativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-zel’dovich Effect for Clusters of Galaxies. Iii. Polarization Effect
We extend the formalism of the relativistic thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effects and include the polarization of the cosmic microwave background photons. We consider the situation that a cluster of galaxies is moving with a velocity ~ β ≡ ~v/c with respect to the cosmic microwave background radiation. In the present formalism, polarization of the scattered cosmic microwave backgroun...
