Measuring cluster peculiar velocities with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect: scaling relations and systematics

Measuring cluster peculiar velocities with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect: scaling relations and systematics

The fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) intensity due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect are the sum of a thermal and a kinetic contribution. Separating the two components to measure the peculiar velocity of galaxy clusters requires radio and microwave observations at three or more frequencies, and knowledge of …
