Using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, we investigate the prospects of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect to detect the missing baryons in the local universe. We find that at least 80% of the tSZ luminosity is generated in…

The Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (SZ effect) is a complete probe of ionized baryons, the majority of which are likely hiding in the intergalactic medium. We ran a $512^3$ $\Lambda$CDM simulation using a moving mesh hydro code to compute the…

We investigate the imprint of dark energy on the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) angular power spectrum on scales of $\ell=1000$ to $10000$, and find that the kSZ signal is sensitive to the dark energy parameter. For example, varying the…
