Simultaneous determination of ΩM0 and H0 from joint Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect and X-ray observations with median statistics

چکیده
Clusters of galaxies contain a fair sample of the universal baryonic mass fraction. A combined analysis of the intracluster medium (ICM) within their hydrostatic regions, as derived from both Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) measurements and X-ray images, makes it possible to constrain the cosmological parameters. We consider both gas fraction estimates and angular diameter distance measurements. Adopting median statistics, we find, at the 2-σ level, the pressureless matter density, ΩM0, to be between 0.30 and 0.40 and the Hubble constant, H0, between 44 and 66 Km s Mpc.

A Measurement of H0 from the Sunyaev-zeldovich Effect
We present a determination of the Hubble constant, H0, from measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in an orientation-unbiased sample of seven galaxy clusters. With improved X-ray models and a more z ! 0.1 accurate 32 GHz calibration, we obtain km s 1 Mpc 1 for a standard cold dark matter (CDM) 14 H p 64 14 0 11 sys cosmology, or km s 1 Mpc 1 for a flat LCDM cosmology. In combination with ...
متن کاملTriple Experiment Spectrum of the Sunyaev - Zeldovich Effect in the Coma Cluster : H 0
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect was previously measured in the Coma cluster by the OVRO and MITO experiments, and recently also with the WMAP satellite. We assess the consistency of these results and their implications on the feasibility of high frequency SZ work with ground-based telescopes. The unique dataset from the combined measurements at six frequency bands is jointly analyzed to deter...
متن کاملTemperature Bias in Measurements of The Hubble Constant Using The Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
Measurements of the Hubble constant to distant galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect are systematically low in comparison to values obtained by other means. These measurements usually assume a spherical isothermal β model for the intracluster medium (ICM). Formation processes and recent mergers guarantee that real clusters are neither spherical nor isothermal. We present the result...
متن کاملThe Hubble Constant from Sze Measurements in Low-redshift Clusters
We present a determination of the Hubble constant from measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) in an orientation-unbiased sample of 7 z < 0.1 galaxy clusters. With improved X-ray models and a more accurate 32-GHz calibration, we obtain H0 = 64 +14 −11 ± 14syskmsec Mpc for a standard CDM cosmology, or H0 = 66 +14 −11 ± 15syskm sec Mpc for a flat ΛCDM cosmology. The random uncertainty ...
متن کاملEffects of Sub-mm and Radio Point Sources on the Recovery of Sunyaev-zeldovich Galaxy Cluster Parameters
Observations of clusters in the 30 to 350 GHz range can in principle be used to determine a galaxy cluster’s Comptonization parameter, y, peculiar velocity, v and gas temperature, Te via the dependence of the kinetic and thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effects on these parameters. Despite the significant contamination expected from thermal emission by dust in high-redshift galaxies, we find that...
