CMB Quadrupole induced polarisation from clusters and filaments

چکیده
We present the estimates of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation power spectrum from galaxy clusters and filaments using hydrodynamical simulations of large scale structure formation. We focus in the present study on the CMB Quadrupole induced polari-sation, which is the dominate secondary polarisation effect, and give the E and B mode power spectra between l ∼ 560 to 20000.

Primordial quadrupole-induced polarisation from filamentary structures and galaxy clusters
We present the first computation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation power spectrum from galaxy clusters and filaments using hydrodynamical simulations of large scale structure. We give the E and B mode power spectra of the CMB quadrupole induced polarisation between l ∼ 560 and 20000. We find that the contribution from warm ionised gas in filamentary structures dominates the ...
متن کاملSZ polarisation as a probe of the intracluster medium
We present high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the degree and direction of polarisation imprinted on the CMB by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the the line of sight to massive galaxy clusters. We focus on two contributions to the electron rest-frame radiation quadrupole anisotropy in addition to the intrinsic CMB quadrupole that contributes most of the induced CMB polarisation: the ...
متن کاملCmb Polarization Due to Scattering in Clusters
Scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in clusters of galaxies polarizes the radiation. We explore several polarization components which have their origin in the kinematic quadrupole moments induced by the motion of the scattering electrons, either directed or random. Polarization levels and patterns are determined in a cluster simulated by the hydrodynamical Enzo code. We find tha...
متن کاملCMB-induced Cluster Polarization as a Cosmological Probe
Scattering of the temperature anisotropy quadrupole by free electrons in galaxy clusters leads to a secondary polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. At low redshifts, the temperature quadrupole contains a significant contribution from the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect associated with the growth of density fluctuations. Using polarization data from a sam...
متن کاملThermal and kinematic corrections to the microwave background polarization induced by galaxy clusters along the line of sight
We derive analytic expressions for the leading-order corrections to the polarization induced in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to scattering off hot electrons in galaxy clusters along the line of sight. For a thermal distribution of electrons with kinetic temperature kBTe ∼ 10 keV and bulk peculiar velocity V ∼ 1000 kms , the dominant corrections to the polarization induced by the pr...
