چکیده

A general method of deprojecting two-dimensional images to reconstruct the three dimensional structure of the projected object – specifically X-ray, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and gravitational lensing maps of rich clusters of galaxies – assuming axial symmetry (Zaroubi et al. 1998), is considered. Here we test the applicability of the method for realistic, numerically simulated galaxy clusters, viewed from three orthogonal projections at four redshift outputs. We demonstrate that the assumption of axial symmetry is a good approximation for the 3D structure in this ensemble of galaxy clusters. Applying the method, we demonstrate that a unique determination of the cluster inclination angle is possible from comparison between the SZ and X-ray images and, independently, between SZ and surface density maps. Moreover, the results from these comparisons are found to be consistent with each other and with the full 3D structure inclination angle determination. The radial dark matter and gas density profiles as calculated from the actual and reconstructed 3D distributions show a very good agreement. The method is also shown to provide a direct determination of the baryon fraction in clusters, independent of the cluster inclination angle. – 2 – Subject headings: cosmology: theory – observations – dark matter – gravitational lensing – distance scale – galaxies: clusters: general

E ect of Gravitational Lensing on Measurements of the Sunyaev - Zel ' dovich E ect

The Sunyaev{Zel'dovich (SZ) e ect of a cluster of galaxies is usually measured after background radio sources are removed from the cluster eld. Gravitational lensing by the cluster potential leads to a systematic de cit in the residual intensity of unresolved sources behind the cluster core relative to a control eld far from the cluster center. As a result, the measured decrement in the Rayleig...

Submillimeter detection of the Sunyaev – Zel ’ dovich effect toward the most luminous X - ray cluster at z = 0 . 45

We report on the detection of the Sunyaev – Zel’dovich (SZ) signals toward the most luminous X-ray cluster RXJ1347-1145 at Nobeyama Radio Observatory (21 and 43 GHz) and at James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (350 GHz). In particular the latter is the first successful detection of the SZ temperature increment in the submillimeter band which resolved the profile of a cluster of galaxies. Both the obse...

Exploring Cluster Physics with High - Resolution Sunyaev – Zel ’ dovich

Foreseeing the era of high spatial resolution measurements of the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect (SZE) in clusters of galaxies, we present a prototype analysis of this sort combined with Chandra X-ray data. It is applied specifically to RX J1347–1145 at z = 0.451, the most X-ray-luminous galaxy cluster known, for which the highest resolution SZE and X-ray images are currently available. We demonstra...
