Simulations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Power Spectrum with AGN Feedback

Abstract

We explore how radiative cooling, supernova feedback, cosmic rays and a new model of the energetic feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) affect the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) power spectra. To do this, we use a suite of hydrodynamical TreePM-SPH simulations of the cosmic web in large periodic boxes and tailored higher resolution simulations of individual galaxy clusters. Our AGN feedback simulations match the recent universal pressure profile and cluster mass scaling relations of the REXCESS X-ray cluster sample better than previous analytical or numerical approaches. For multipoles $\ell \lesssim 2000$, our power spectra with and without enhanced feedback are similar, suggesting theoretical uncertainties over that range are relatively small, although current analytic and semi-analytic approaches overestimate this SZ power. We find the power at high 2000-10000 multipoles which ACT and SPT probe is sensitive to the feedback prescription, hence can constrain the theory of intracluster gas, in particular for the highly uncertain redshifts $>0.8$. The apparent tension between ${\sigma }_8$ from primary cosmic microwave background power and from analytic SZ spectra inferred using ACT and SPT data is lessened with our AGN feedback spectra.

9 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. This modified version has been submitted to ApJ, expanding upon our original letter-size version, in response to comments we received. We have extended the discussion of our AGN energy input requirements; added kSZ power spectra; made MCMC comparisons with SPT data, shown in an extra figure, as well as the ACT data we originally used; added a few more references
