We report new measurements of millimeter-wave temperature power spectra in the angular multipole range $1700 \le \ell \le 11,000$ (wavelengths $13^\prime \gtrsim \lambda \gtrsim 2^\prime$). We use two years of data in three observing bands…

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect spectrum crosses through a null where dT_CMB = 0 near nu_0 = 217 GHz. In a cluster of galaxies, nu_0 can be shifted from the canonical thermal SZ effect value by corrections to the SZ effect scattering due…

We analyze measurements of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect arising in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of $L^*$ galaxies, reported by Bregman et al. 2022 and Das et al. 2023. In our analysis we use the Faerman et al. 2017 and…

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is a powerful probe of the evolution of structures in the universe, and is thus highly sensitive to cosmological parameters $\sigma_8$ and $\Omega_m$, though its power is hampered by the current…
We use hydrodynamical simulations to assess the impact of radiative cooling and `pre-heating' on predictions for the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. Cooling significantly reduces both the mean SZ signal and its angular power spectrum,…
