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…

The kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (kSZ) effect is a potentially powerful probe to the missing baryons. However, the kSZ signal is overwhelmed by various contaminations and the cosmological application is hampered by loss of redshift…

The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, i.e., the Doppler boost of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons caused by their scattering off free electrons in galaxy clusters and groups with non-zero bulk velocity, is a powerful window…

The kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a powerful probe of gas physics and large-scale structure (LSS) in our universe. We consider the "projected-field" kSZ estimator, which involves…

[ABRIDGED] Inhomogeneous reionization acts as a source of arcminute-scale anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the most important of which is the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. Observational efforts with the…

We apply statistical tests, based on the study of thecoefficients in a wavelet decomposition, to a cosmological signal: the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. The latter represent the superposition of primary anisotropy…

Observational cosmology has become an important laboratory for testing General Relativity, with searches for modified gravity forming a significant portion of the science case for existing and future surveys. In this paper, we illustrate…

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect introduces a specific distortion of the blackbody spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation when it scatters off hot gas in clusters of galaxies. The frequency dependence of the…

Secondary anisotropies of the CMB have the potential to reveal intricate details about the history of our universe between the present and recombination epochs. However, because the CMB we observe is the projected sum of a multitude of…

The adiabatic evolution of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a key prediction of standard cosmology. We study deviations from the expected adiabatic evolution of the CMB temperature of the form $T(z)…

The hot gas in clusters of galaxies creates a distinctive spectral distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. The spectral signature of the SZ can be used to measure the CMB temperature at…

In this work we present a method to extract the signal induced by the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It makes use of the Linear Covariance-Based filter introduced by Barreiro et al., and…

The kinematic Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect induces a non-zero density-density-temperature bispectrum, which we can use to reconstruct the large-scale velocity field from a combination of cosmic microwave background (CMB) and galaxy…

We present a study of the effect of component separation on the recovered cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature distribution, considering Gaussian and non-Gaussian input CMB maps. First, we extract the CMB component from simulated…

The kSZ effect has recently emerged as a powerful probe for precision cosmology through its ability to reconstruct the large-scale velocity field. In particular, the kSZ-reconstructed velocity-galaxy cross-correlation is sensitive to…

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 kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect has now become a clear target for ongoing and future studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and cosmology. Aside from the bulk cluster motion, internal motions also lead to a kSZ signal.…

The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (kSZ) and patchy screening effect are two complementary cosmic microwave background (CMB) probes of the reionization era. The kSZ effect is a relatively strong signal, but is difficult to disentangle…

We develop and test a new statistical method to measure the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. A sample of independently detected clusters is combined with the cosmic flow field predicted from a galaxy redshift survey in order to…

We detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect with a statistical significance of $4.2 \sigma$ by combining a cluster catalogue derived from the first year data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) with CMB temperature maps from the…
