Taking advantage of the all-sky coverage and broad frequency range of the Planck satellite, we study the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) and pressure profiles of 62 nearby massive clusters detected at high significance in the 14-month nominal…
The pressure of hot gas in groups and clusters of galaxies is a key physical quantity, which is directly linked to the total mass of the halo and several other thermodynamical properties. In the wake of previous observational works on the…
Pressure profiles are sensitive probes of the thermodynamic conditions and the internal structure of galaxy clusters. The intra-cluster gas resides in hydrostatic equilibrium within the Dark Matter gravitational potential. However, this…
Surveys based on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect provide a fresh view of the galaxy cluster population, one that is complementary to X-ray surveys. To better understand the relation between these two kinds of survey, we construct an…
We present a full set of numerical tools to extract Galaxy Cluster pressure profiles from the joint analysis of Planck and South Pole Telescope (SPT) observations. Pressure profiles are powerful tracers of the thermodynamic properties and…
The determination of the thermodynamic properties of clusters of galaxies at intermediate and high redshift can bring new insights into the formation of large-scale structures. It is essential for a robust calibration of the mass-observable…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a promising tool for detecting the presence of hot gas out to the galaxy cluster peripheries. We developed a spectral imaging algorithm dedicated to the SZ observations of nearby galaxy clusters with…
We present an analysis of Planck satellite data on the Coma Cluster observed via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. Planck is able, for the first time, to detect SZ emission up to r ~ 3 X R_500. We test previously proposed models for the…
About half of the baryons of the Universe are expected to be in the form of filaments of hot and low density intergalactic medium. Most of these baryons remain undetected even by the most advanced X-ray observatories which are limited in…
We measured the average Compton profile of 461 clusters detected jointly by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck. The number of clusters included in this analysis is about one order of magnitude larger than in previous analyses. We…
Following on our previous study of an analytic parametric model to describe the baryonic and dark matter distributions in clusters of galaxies with spherical symmetry, we perform an SZ analysis of a set of simulated clusters and present…
We present joint South Pole Telescope (SPT) and XMM-Newton observations of 8 massive galaxy clusters (0.8--1.7$\times$10$^{15}$ M$_{\odot}$) spanning a redshift range of 0.16 to 0.35. Employing a novel SZ+X-ray fitting technique, we…
We investigate the utility of a new, self-similar pressure profile for fitting Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect observations of galaxy clusters. Current SZ imaging instruments - such as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array (SZA) - are capable of…
Recent measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) angular power spectrum from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) demonstrate the importance of understanding baryon physics when using the SZ power…
All-sky thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) maps are presented for assessing how well the PLANCK-mission can find and characterise clusters of galaxies, especially in the presence of primary anisotropies of the cosmic microwave…
We present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect observations of a sample of 25 massive relaxed galaxy clusters observed with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array (SZA), an 8-element interferometer that is part of the Combined Array for Research in…
We examine the ability of the future Planck mission to provide a catalogue of galaxy clusters observed via their SZ distortion in the cosmic microwave background. For this purpose we produce full-sky SZ maps based on N-body simulations and…
The Planck collaboration has extensively used the six Planck HFI frequency maps to detect the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect with dedicated methods, e.g., by applying (i) component separation to construct a full sky map of the y parameter…
We analyze the radial pressure profiles, the ICM clumping factor and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) scaling relations of a sample of simulated galaxy clusters and groups identified in a set of hydrodynamical simulations based on an updated…
We present precise Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect measurements in the direction of 62 nearby galaxy clusters (z <0.5) detected at high signal-to-noise in the first Planck all-sky dataset. The sample spans approximately a decade in total…
