We investigate the connection between a cluster's structural configuration and observable measures of its gas emission that can be obtained in X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) surveys. We present an analytic model for the intracluster gas…
Almost a third of the cosmic baryons are "missing" at low redshifts, as they reside in the invisible warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect, which measures the line-of-sight integral of the plasma…

About 90% of baryons in the universe have thus far escaped direct observation. This is known as the {\it missing baryon problem}. The Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (SZ effect) has the potential to directly measure the state of the majority of…
Future high-resolution microwave background measurements hold the promise of detecting galaxy clusters throughout our Hubble volume through their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) signature, down to a given limiting flux. The number density of galaxy…
Hot, ionized gas leaves an imprint on the cosmic microwave background via the thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect. The cross-correlation of gravitational lensing (which traces the projected mass) with the tSZ effect (which traces the…

The cross-correlation of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZ) and weak-lensing imaging surveys can be used to test how well hot baryons trace dark matter in clusters of galaxies. We examine this concept using mock SZ and weak-lensing surveys…
