We present angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropy due to fluctuations of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect through clusters of galaxies. A contribution from the correlation among clusters is especially focused on, which has been neglected in the previous analyses. Employing the evolving linear bias factor based on the Press-Schechter formalism, we find th...
متن کاملE 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...
متن کامل1 A Measurement of the Hubble Constant from the X - Ray Properties and the Sunyaev - Zel ’ dovich Effect of CL 0016 + 16
A value of the Hubble constant has been determined from a comparison of the X-ray properties and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect of the distant rich cluster of galaxies CL 0016+16. The cluster, as imaged by the ROSAT PSPC, is significantly elliptical and we present the techniques we have developed to include this in our analysis. Assuming a smooth, isothermal gas distribution, we obtain a value H0 = ...

We report on the first observation of the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, a distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) by hot electrons in clusters of galaxies, with the Diabolo experiment at the IRAM 30 m telescope. Diabolo is a dual–channel 0.1K bolometer photometer dedicated to the observation of CMB anisotropies at 2.1 and 1.2 mm. A significant brightness decrement in the...
متن کاملSubmillimeter 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...
