Cluster Abundance Evolution and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect in Various Cosmological Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The redshift dependence of observed cluster abundance due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) is studied in various cosmological models including flat and open homogeneous (CDM) models and an inhomogeneous model with a large-scale local void. The PressSchechter formalism is used to derive the abundance at epochs 0 < z < 2 and the cluster mass limit Mlim is given from a flux limit for SZE. It is shown that SZE is useful for constraining the cosmological model parameters and the abundance in the inhomogeneous model can be comparable with that in the low-density homogeneous models. The significance of relative difference of abundances in their models is discussed.

IMPORTANCE OF CLUSTER STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION IN USING X-RAY AND SUNYAEV-ZELDOVICH EFFECT GALAXY CLUSTER SURVEYS TO STUDY DARK ENERGY SubhabrataMajumdar
We examine the prospects for measuring the dark energy equation-of-state parameter w within the context of the still uncertain redshift evolution of galaxy cluster structure. We show that for a particular X-ray survey (Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect [SZE] survey), the constraints on w degrade by roughly a factor of 3 (factor of 2) when one accounts for the possibility of nonstandard cluster evolution...
متن کاملAre Clusters Standard Candles? Galaxy Cluster Scaling Relations with the Sunyaev-zeldovich Effect
An extensive sample of galaxy clusters will be available in the coming years, detected through their Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect (SZE). We use a semi–analytic model to study the scientific yield of combining SZE data with X-ray and optical follow-up observations. If clusters at a given redshift zo can be identified with virialized, spherical halos, they populate a well–defined ”fundamental plane” ...
متن کاملSunyaev - Zeldovich effect measured towards Abell cluster A 2218
We report a new measurement of the cosmological Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) diminution of ∆T ' −(750 ± 200) μK at 10.55 GHz with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope towards the A 2218 cluster of galaxies. We also report and analyse the X-ray observations of the A 2218 cluster of galaxies with the ROSAT satellite. The position and the strength of the measured SZ diminution are in excellent agreement...
متن کاملOn the Number Density of Sunyaev-Zeldovich Clusters of Galaxies.
If the mean properties of clusters of galaxies are well described by the entropy-driven model, the distortion induced by the cluster population on the blackbody spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation is proportional to the total amount of intracluster gas, while temperature anisotropies are dominated by the contribution of 1014 M middle dot in circle clusters. This result depends...
متن کاملCMB Comptonization by Energetic Nonthermal Electrons in Clusters of Galaxies
Use of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect as a precise cosmological probe necessitates a realistic assessment of all possible contributions to Comptonization of the cosmic microwave background in clusters of galaxies. We have calculated the additional intensity change due to various possible populations of energetic electrons that have been proposed in order to account for measurements of intracluste...
