Constraining the intracluster pressure profile from the thermal SZ power spectrum

M. E. Ramos-Ceja, K. Basu, F. Pacaud +1

The angular power spectrum of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is highly sensitive to cosmological parameters such as sigma_8 and Omega_m, but its use as a precision cos…

A Chandra view of the z=1.62 galaxy cluster IRC-0218A

M. Pierre, N. Clerc, B. Maughan +3

Context: Very few z > 1.5 clusters of galaxies are known. It is important to study the properties of galaxies in these clusters and the ICM and, further, to cross-check the reliabi…
