Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect from Quasar-driven Blast-waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quasar-driven winds are currently the best candidates for accounting for the preheating of the intergalactic medium in clusters. Such winds, occurring during early phases of the evolution of spheroidal galaxies, shock-heat the interstellar gas, thus inducing a detectable Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We estimate the amplitude and the angular scale of such effect as well as its counts as a function of the comptonization parameter y. The contamination due to radio emission by the quasar itself is also discussed. The corresponding mean Compton distortion of the cosmic microwave background spectrum is found to be well below the COBE/FIRAS upper limit.

The kinematic Sunyaev Zeldovich effect and transverse cluster velocities
The polarization of the CMBR scattered by galaxy clusters in the kinematic Sunyaev Zeldovich effect depends on the transverse velocity of the cluster. This polarizing effect is proportional to the transverse velocity squared, and so weaker that the change in intensity due to the radial motion in the kinematic effect. The value given by Sunyaev and Zeldovich, and which is frequently cited, under...
متن کاملNew Constraints on Spatial Variations of the Fine Structure Constant from Clusters of Galaxies
We have constrained the spatial variation of the fine structure constant using multi-frequency measurements of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect of 618 X-ray selected clusters. Although our results are not competitive with the ones from quasar absorption lines, we improved by a factor 10 and ∼2.5 previous results from Cosmic Microwave Background power spectrum and from galaxy clusters, respe...
متن کاملThe effect of cluster magnetic field on the Sunyaev Zeldovich power spectrum
Precision measurements of the Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) effect in upcoming blank sky surveys require theoretical understanding of all physical processes with & 10% effects on the SZ power spectrum. We show that, observed cluster magnetic field could reduce the SZ power spectrum by ∼ 20% at l ∼ 4000, where the SZ power spectrum will be precisely measured by the Sunyaev Zeldovich array (SZA) and the...
متن کاملSunyaev - Zeldovich decrements with no clusters ?
Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements in the temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are produced by Thomson scattering of the CMB photons by the confined hot electrons in the Intra-Cluster Medium encountered along the line-of-sight. In this paper, we propose an alternate physical process that can produce detectable thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements around quasars or quasar...
متن کاملRelativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-zeldovich Effect for Clusters of Galaxies. v. Effect of the Motion of the Observer
We extend the formalism of the relativistic thermal and kinematical SunyaevZeldovich effects to the observer’s system (the Solar System) moving with a velocity ~ βS ≡ ~vS/c with respect to the cosmic microwave background radiation. We confirm the results recently obtained by Chluba, Huetsi, and Sunyaev in the lowest order of the observer’s velocity βS. We give a more general analytic expression...
