چکیده
— In the near future the Planck satellite [1] will gather impressive information about the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background and about the galaxy clusters which perturb that signal. We will here review the ability of Planck to extract information about these galaxy clusters through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich imprint. We will conclude that Planck will provide a catalogue of galaxy clusters, which will be very useful for future targeted observations. We will explain why Planck will not be very good in extracting detailed information about individual clusters, except for the dominating Compton parameter, y, which will be measured to a few percent for individual clusters. In this last point I am being rather conservative, but that will leave space for pleasant surprises when the Planck data will be analysed.

The observed infall of galaxies into the Virgo Cluster puts strong constraints on the mass of the cluster. A non-parametric fully non-linear description of the infall can be made with orbit reconstructions based on Numerical Action Methods. The mass of the cluster is determined to be 1.2 × 10M⊙. The mass-to-light ratio for the cluster is found to be seven times higher than the mean ratio found ...

We investigate what the lensing information contained in high resolution, low noise CMB temperature maps can teach us about cluster mass profiles. We create lensing fields and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect maps from N-body simulations and apply them to primary CMB anisotropies modeled as a Gaussian random field. We examine the success of several techniques of cluster mass reconstruction using CMB l...

Preliminary results are presented from the CLEF hydrodynamics simulation, a large (N = 2 × 428 3 particles within a 200 h −1 Mpc comoving box) simulation of the ΛCDM cosmology that includes both radiative cooling and a simple model for galac-tic feedback. Specifically, we focus on the X-ray properties of the simulated clusters at z = 0 and demonstrate a reasonable level of agreement between sim...
