Deprojecting Sunyaev-Zel’dovich statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the hierarchical clustering model and non-linear perturbation theory to the cosmological density and temperature fields. This allows us to calculate the intergalactic gas pressure power spectrum, SZ anisotropy power spectrum, skewness and related statistics. Then we show the effect of the non-gravitational heating. Our model confirms recent simulations yielding mass weighted gas temperature T̄g ∼ 0.35 keV and reproduces the power spectra found in these simulations. While the SZ effect contains only angular information, we show that it is possible to extract the full time resolved gas pressure power spectrum when combined with galaxy photometric redshift surveys by using a variation on the cross-correlation. This method further allows the disentanglement of the gravitational and the non-gravitational heating. Subject headings: Large scale structure-cluster-cosmology; CMB; Perturbation theory

The 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 کاملStatistics of Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Cluster Surveys
We describe a detailed analytic model for predicting statistical quantities (such as number counts, redshift distributions and sizes) of clusters detected in blank-field, thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect experiments. We include in this model the possibility of non-Gaussian density perturbations in the early Universe and also describe a simple model for the effects of preheating on cluster Suny...

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 کاملSunyaev-zel’dovich Effect by Multiple Scattering : Numerical Solution of the Transfer Equations
The radiative transfer equations for multiple inverse Compton scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) by the hot intra-cluster electrons are solved numerically. The spherical isothermal and inhomogeneous β model has been considered for the electron distribution. The anisotropy of the CMBR caused by scattering, known as thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect, along the radial a...
متن کاملUsing the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect to Probe the Gas in Clusters
The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect is an important probe of clusters of galaxies, and has the attractive property of being proportional to the thermal energy content of the intracluster medium. With the assistance of X-ray data, the effect can be used to measure the number of hot electrons in clusters, and thus measure cluster baryon contents. Cluster absolute distances and other structural ...
