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…
In the present work, we propose a new method aiming at extracting the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (KSZ) temperature fluctuations embedded in the primary anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We base our study on simulated…
If the gas in filaments and halos shares the same velocity field than the luminous matter, it will generate measurable temperature anisotropies due to the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We compute the distribution function of the KSZ…
Reionization of helium is expected to occur at redshifts $z\sim3$ and have important consequences for quasar populations, galaxy formation, and the morphology of the intergalactic medium, but there is little known empirically about the…
Conventional wisdom was that thermal relics from the epoch of reionization (EOR) would vanish swiftly. Recently, however, it was shown that these relics can survive to lower redshifts ($z \sim 2$) than previously thought, due to gas at mean…
The hot gas embedded in the large-scale structures in the Universe produces secondary fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Because it is proportional to the gas pressure integrated along the line of sight, this effect, the…

We propose to use spatial correlations of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (KSZ) flux as an estimator of the peculiar velocity power spectrum. In contrast with conventional techniques, our new method does not require measurements of the…
We prove from the modified gravity (MG) galaxy/halo mock catalogs that the shape of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) power spectrum $P_{\rm kSZ}$ has constraining power on discriminating different gravity theories on…
In recent years, observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect have had significant cosmological implications and have begun to serve as a powerful and independent probe of the warm and hot gas that pervades the Universe. As a few…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect associated with pressure fluctuations of the large scale structure gas distribution will be probed with current and upcoming wide-field small angular scale cosmic microwave background experiments. We study…

The high-redshift 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) is a promising observational probe of the early universe. Current- and next-generation radio interferometers such as the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) and…
We present a harmonic-space estimator for the cross-correlation between the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and the reconstructed galaxy momentum field that offers several practical advantages over the traditional stacking approach. The…
The peculiar motion of ionized baryons is known to introduce temperature anisotropies in the CMB by means of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (kSZ). In this work, we present an all sky computation of angular power spectrum of the…
We measure the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, imprinted by maxBCG clusters, on the Planck SMICA map of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Our measurement, for the first time, directly accounts for uncertainties in the…
We use high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of large-scale structure formation to study the imprints of the local superclusters onto the full-sky Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) signals. Following (Mathis et al. 2002), the initial conditions…
