Future constraints on halo thermodynamics from combined Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements
Future constraints on halo thermodynamics from combined Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements
The improving sensitivity of measurements of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect opens a new window into the thermodynamic properties of the baryons in halos. We propose a methodology to constrain these thermodynamic properties by combining the kinetic SZ, which is an unbiased probe of the free electron density, and the …
