Cosmological Parameter Estimation from CMB and X-ray clusters
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results of a combined analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) and X-ray galaxy clusters baryon fraction to deduce constraints over 6 inflationnary cosmological parameters. Such a combination is necessary for breaking degeneracies inherent to the CMB.

Gravitational lensing of cosmic microwave background anisotropies and cosmological parameter estimation
Gravitational lensing, caused by matter perturbations along the line-of-sight to the last scattering surface, can modify the shape of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum. We discuss the detectability of lensing distortions to both the temperature and polarisation anisotropy power spectra and we analyse how lensing might affect the estimation of cosmological parameter...
متن کاملStatistical Imprints of SZ Effects in the Cosmic Microwave Background
— We review several aspects of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect associated with the large scale baryon distribution and its characteristic signatures in the statistics of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We discuss (1) the contributions to the angular power spectrum from the thermal and kinetic SZ effects, (2) the effect of SZ non-Gaussianities on cosmological parameter estimat...
متن کاملNEW PHYSICS IN CLUSTERS OF GALAXY A New Dark Matter Component ?
The latest cosmological observables analyses seem to converge to a concordant view of the cosmological model: namely the power law Λ-CDM. The recent WMAP results comfort this new standard model. Nevertheless, some degeneracy in the CMB physics do not allow one to exclude alternative models. A combined analysis with other cosmological observations is thus needed. An example of such work is shown...
متن کاملEffects of CMB temperature uncertainties on cosmological parameter estimation
We estimate the effect of the experimental uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the extraction of cosmological parameters from future CMB surveys. We find that even for an ideal experiment limited only by cosmic variance up to l = 2500 for both the temperature and polarisation measurements, the projected cosmological parameter errors are ...
متن کاملMutual Constraints Between Reionization Models and Parameter Extraction From Cosmic Microwave Background Data
Spectroscopic studies of high-redshift objects combined with increasingly precise data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are beginning to place strong bounds on the epoch of hydrogen reionization. Parameter estimation from current CMB data continues, however, to be subject to several degeneracies. Here, we focus on those degeneracies in CMB parameter forecasts related to the optical dept...
