Correlation Properties of the Kinematic Sunyaev‐Zel’dovich Effect and Implications for Dark Energy
Correlation Properties of the Kinematic Sunyaev‐Zel’dovich Effect and Implications for Dark Energy
In the context of a cosmological study of bulk flows in the universe, we present a detailed study of the statistical properties of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. We first compute analytically the correlation function and the power spectrum of the projected peculiar velocities of galaxy clusters. By taking into …
