Sunyaev-Zeldovich Cluster Counts as a Probe of Intra-Supercluster Gas
arXiv:astro-ph/0507506 · doi:10.1016/j.newast.2005.03.007
Abstract
X-ray background surveys indicate the likely presence of diffuse warm gas in the Local Super Cluster (LSC), in accord with expectations from hydrodynamical simulations. We assess several other manifestations of warm LSC gas; these include anisotropy in the spatial pattern of cluster Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) counts, its impact on the CMB temperature power spectrum at the lowest multipoles, and implications on measurements of the S-Z effect in and around the Virgo cluster.
