The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect of galaxy clusters is characterized by three parameters: Compton parameter, electron temperature and cluster peculiar velocity. In the present study we consider the problem of extracting these parameters…
Observations from the first flight of the Medium Scale Anisotropy Measurement (MSAM1-92) are analyzed to search for the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect towards the Coma cluster. This balloon-borne instrument uses a $28\arcmin$ FWHM beam and…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is a powerful tool for studying clusters of galaxies and cosmology. Large mm-wave telescopes are now routinely detecting and mapping the SZ effect in a number of clusters, measure their comptonisation…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a promising tool to study physical properties of the hot X-ray emitting intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters. To date, most SZ observations have been interpreted in combination with X-ray…
The determination of the morphology of galaxy clusters has important repercussion on their cosmological and astrophysical studies. In this paper we address the morphological characterisation of synthetic maps of the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ)…
(Abriged version) The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect of galaxy clusters is a tool to measure three quantities: Compton parameter, electron temperature, and cluster peculiar velocity. However, a major problem is non-removed contamination by…
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…
Future high resolution, high sensitivity Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) observations of individual clusters will provide an exciting opportunity to answer specific questions about the dynamical state of the intra-cluster medium (ICM). In this paper…
We present an improved method for predicting the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect in galaxy clusters from spatially-resolved, spectroscopic X-ray data. Using the deprojected electron density and temperature profiles measured within a fraction…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect was previously measured in the Coma cluster by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory and Millimeter and IR Testa Grigia Observatory experiments and recently also with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect has long been identified as one of the most important secondary effects of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). On the one hand, it is a potentially very powerful cosmological probe providing us with…
Most Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) and X-ray analyses of galaxy clusters try to constrain the cluster total mass and/or gas mass using parameterised models and assumptions of spherical symmetry and hydrostatic equilibrium. By numerically…
We present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements of 15 massive X-ray selected galaxy clusters obtained with the South Pole Telescope. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster signals are measured at 150 GHz, and concurrent 220 GHz data are used to…
The angular power spectrum of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is calculated in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model with the aim of investigating its detailed dependence on the cluster population, gas morphology, and gas evolution. We…
The pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal from galaxy clusters is a probe of their line-of-sight momenta, and thus a potentially valuable source of cosmological information. In addition to the momenta, the amplitude of the…
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from clusters of galaxies should yield a significant signal in cosmic microwave background(CMB) experiments at small angular scales ($\ell \ga 1000$). Experiments with sufficient frequency coverage should…
We have measured the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect towards the Coma cluster (A1656) with the MITO experiment, a 2.6-m telescope equipped with a 4-channel 17 arcminute (FWHM) photometer. Measurements at frequency bands 143+/-15, 214+/-15,…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect has long been recognized as a powerful cosmological probe. Using the BAHAMAS and MACSIS simulations to obtain $>10,000$ simulated galaxy groups and clusters, we compute three temperature measures and…
Galaxy clusters are not iso-thermal, and the radial temperature dependence will affect the cluster parameters derived through the observation of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. We show that the derived peculiar velocity will be…
New generation ground and space-based CMB experiments have ushered in discoveries of massive galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect, providing a new window for studying cluster astrophysics and cosmology. Many of the newly…
