We report the first robust evidence for the rotational kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (rkSZ) effect, produced by the Thomson scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off rotating intracluster gas. By combining CMB intensity and…

If the peculiar motion of galaxy groups and clusters indeed resembles that of the surrounding baryons, then the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) pattern of those massive halos should be closely correlated to the kSZ pattern of all…

We report the detection of thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZ) fluctuations in the intracluster medium (ICM) of Coma cluster observed with ${\it Planck}$. The SZ data links the maximum observable X-ray scale to the large Mpc scale,…

The pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal from galaxy clusters is a probe of their line-of-sight momenta, and thus a potentially valuable source of cosmological information. In addition to the momenta, the amplitude of the…

We present a novel mathematical formalism that allows to easily compute the expected kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich (kSZ) signal in intensity and polarization due to an anisotropic primordial Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We derive the…

Anisotropies of the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect serve as a powerful probe of the thermal history of the universe. At high redshift, hot galactic outflows driven by supernovae (SNe) can inject a significant amount of thermal energy into…

A complete picture of the gas thermodynamics around galaxies is imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Indeed, the thermal, kinematic, and relativistic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects (tSZ, kSZ, rSZ) measure the gas density,…
