In this paper, we try to detect the SZ effect in the 2MASS DWT clusters and less bound objects in order to constrain the warm-hot intergalactic medium distribution on large scales by cross-correlation analysis. The results of both observed…
In galaxy clusters the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from the hot intracluster medium (ICM) provides a direct, self-contained measure of the pressure integrated over crossing lines of sight, that is intrinsically independent of…
We have performed a combined analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich data in the direction of the distant galaxy cluster, RX J2228+2037. Fitting a $\beta$-model to the high-resolution HRI data gives $r_c = 103 \pm 12 h_{70}^{-1}$ kpc and…
According to CMB measurements, baryonic matter constitutes about $5\%$ of the mass-energy density of the universe. A significant population of these baryons, for a long time referred to as `missing', resides in a low density, warm-hot…
Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) power spectrum is a powerful probe of the present-day amplitude of matter density fluctuations, and has been measured up to $\ell\approx 10^3$ from the {\it Planck} data. The largest systematic uncertainty in…
Since recent X-ray observations have revealed that most clusters of galaxies are surrounded by an X-ray emitting gaseous halo, it is reasonable to expect that the Local Group of galaxies has its own X-ray halo. We show that such a halo,…
We present the observed relation between the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature decrement due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect and the X-ray luminosity of galaxy clusters. We discuss this relation in terms of the cluster…
