Interferometric observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) toward clusters of galaxies provide sensitive cosmological probes. We present results from 1 cm observations (at BIMA and OVRO) of a large, intermediate redshift cluster…
I re-examine the relation between virial mass and concentration for groups and clusters of galaxies as measured in a number of recent works. As previously noted by several authors, low-mass clusters and groups of galaxies display…
We consider the distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to galactic winds at high redshift. Winds outflowing from galaxies have been hypothesized to be possible sources of metals in the intergalactic medium, which is known…
The back-reaction of baryons on the dark matter halo density profile is of great interest, not least because it is an important systematic uncertainty when attempting to detect the dark matter. Here, we draw on a large suite of high…
I discuss galaxy cluster surveys based on the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich effect and their relevance for cosmological studies. The unique aspects of cluster selection by this method are emphasized and certain issues of surveying are addressed.…
We study the clustering properties of galaxy clusters expected to be observed by various forthcoming surveys both in the X-ray and sub-mm regimes by the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. Several different background cosmological models are…
We study the effect of baryonic processes on the halo mass function in the galaxy cluster mass range using a catalogue of 153 high resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations performed with the AMR code ramses. We use the results of…
Complex astrophysical processes regulate the growth of galaxies by injecting energy and momentum into their surroundings, redistributing baryons across megaparsec scales. The clustering of matter on these scales, as measured via weak…
The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) is providing important clues into the evolution of the early universe. In this Science Perspective, Joy and Carlstrom discuss one feature of the CMBR, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, which can…
As the quality of the available galaxy cluster data improves, the models fitted to these data might be expected to become increasingly complex. Here we present the Bayesian approach to the problem of cluster data modelling: starting from…
In this paper we study the possibility of detecting lensing signals in high-resolution and high-sensitivity CMB experiments. At scales below 1 arcmin, the CMB background is dominated by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in clusters and by…
Modern weak-lensing observations are becoming increasingly sensitive to baryonic feedback processes which are still poorly understood. So far, this challenge has been faced either by imposing scale-cuts in the data or by modelling baryonic…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a window into the astrophysical processes of galaxy clusters, and relativistic corrections (the "rSZ") promise to provide a global census of the gas feedback within clusters. Upcoming wide-field…
We conduct a pseudo-$C_\ell$ analysis of the tomographic cross-correlation between 1000 deg$^2$ of weak lensing data from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-1000) and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect measured by Planck and the Atacama…
We investigate the suppression of the baryon density fluctuations compared to the dark matter in the linear regime. Previous calculations predict that the suppression occurs up to a characteristic mass scale of ~ 1,000,000 solar masses,…
Baryonic effects created by feedback processes associated with galaxy formation are an important, poorly constrained systematic effect for models of large-scale structure as probed by weak gravitational lensing. Upcoming surveys require…
Standard cosmological weak lensing analyses using cosmic shear are inevitably sensitive to small-scale, non-linear clustering from low-redshift structures. The need to adequately model the clustering of matter on this non-linear regime,…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect of a cluster of galaxies is usually measured after background radio sources are removed from the cluster field. Gravitational lensing by the cluster potential leads to a systematic deficit in the residual…
The Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from galaxy clusters is one of the most powerful cosmological tools for investigating the large-scale Universe. The big advantage of the SZ effect is its redshift independence, which is not the case for…
We investigate the role of baryonic physics in shaping the population, structure, and internal dynamics of galactic subhalos using the Mochima suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations. A refined method is developed to identify bound…
