We present results on the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects from a sequence of high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of structure formation, including cooling, feedback and metal injection. These simulations represent a…
We present a detailed investigation of the impact of astrophysical processes on the shape and amplitude of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) power spectrum from the post-reionization epoch. This is achieved by constructing a new model of…
Recently, the entropy excess detected in the central cores of groups and clusters has been successfully interpreted as being due to radiative cooling of the hot intragroup/intracluster gas. In such a scenario, the entropy floors $S_{\rm…
The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and soft X-ray emission are routinely observed around massive galaxies and in galaxy groups and clusters. We study these observational diagnostics of galaxy haloes for a suite of cosmological…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect has proven to be an extremely powerful tool to study the physical and evolutionary properties of rich clusters of galaxies. Upcoming SZ experiments, with their much improved sensitivity and angular…
Statistical studies of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) using Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) observations offer a promising method of studying the gas properties of galaxies and the astrophysics that govern their evolution. Forward modeling profiles…
We have performed a sequence of high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of structure formation in a LCDM model to study the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects. Including only adiabatic gas physics, we demonstrate that our…
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…
Using a radio-quiet subsample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic quasar catalogue, spanning redshifts 0.5-3.5, we derive the mean millimetre and far-infrared quasar spectral energy distributions (SEDs) via a stacking analysis of…
A complete picture of the gas thermodynamics around galaxies is imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Indeed, the thermal, kinematic, and relativistic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects (tSZ, kSZ, rSZ) measure the gas density,…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect is a powerful new tool for finding and studying clusters at high redshift, particularly in combination with their X-ray properties. In this paper we quantify the expected scaling relations between these…
X-ray emission and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich distortion to the Cosmic Microwave Background are two important handles on the gas content of the Universe. The cross-correlation between these effects eliminates noise bias and reduces…
Statistical properties of LSS serve as powerful tools to constrain the cosmological properties of our Universe. Tracing the gas pressure, the tSZ effect is a biased probe of mass distribution and can be used to test the physics of feedback…
We study the effect of cooling flows in galaxy clusters on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) distortion and the possible cosmological implications. The SZ effect, alongwith X-ray observations of clusters, is used to determine the Hubble constant,…
(Abridged) The hot gas in the IGM produces anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. The SZ effect is a powerful probe of large-scale structure in the universe and must be…
A matched filter technique is applied to the Planck all-sky Compton y-parameter map to measure the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect produced by galaxy groups of different halo masses selected from large redshift surveys in the low-z…
We derive fully nonlinear expressions for temperature fluctuations from the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect, the scattering of cosmic microwave background photons off hot electrons in bulk motion. Our result reproduces the…
Hot gas trapped in a dark matter halo will produce a decrement in the surface brightness of the microwave background, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. While massive clusters produce the strongest central SZ decrements, we point out that…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect was first predicted nearly five decades ago, but has only recently become a mature tool for performing high resolution studies of the warm and hot ionized gas in and between galaxies, groups, and clusters.…
We use high-resolution hydrodynamic re-simulations to investigate the properties of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from galaxy clusters. We compare results obtained using different physical models for the intracluster medium…
