The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Component-separated maps of CMB temperature and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect

Mathew S. Madhavacheril, J. Colin Hill, Sigurd Naess +51

Optimal analyses of many signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) require map-level extraction of individual components in the microwave sky, rather than measurements at th…

Pressure profiles and mass estimates using high-resolution Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect observations of Zwicky 3146 with MUSTANG-2

Charles E. Romero, Jonathan Sievers, Vittorio Ghirardini +12

The galaxy cluster Zwicky 3146 is a sloshing cool core cluster at that in X-ray imaging does not appear to exhibit significant pressure substructure in the intracluster m…

The Simons Observatory: Astro2020 Decadal Project Whitepaper

The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Shunsuke Adachi +280

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough…

Quantifying the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and Excess Millimeter Emission in Quasar Environments

Kirsten R. Hall, Nadia L. Zakamska, Graeme Addison +23

In this paper we probe the hot, post-shock gas component of quasar-driven winds through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect. Combining datasets from the Atacama Cosmology T…

Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Dusty star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei in the equatorial survey

Megan B. Gralla, Tobias A. Marriage, Graeme Addison +30

We present a catalog of 510 radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN, primarily blazars) and 287 dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) detected by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope at $>…

Mass Variance from Archival X-ray Properties of Dark Energy Survey Year-1 Galaxy Clusters

A. Farahi, X. Chen, A. E. Evrard +76

Using archival X-ray observations and a log-normal population model, we estimate constraints on the intrinsic scatter in halo mass at fixed optical richness for a galaxy cluster sa…

Stellar mass as a galaxy cluster mass proxy: application to the Dark Energy Survey redMaPPer clusters

A. Palmese, J. Annis, J. Burgad +82

We introduce a galaxy cluster mass observable, , based on the stellar masses of cluster members, and we present results for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 observation…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of Cluster Mis-centering in the redMaPPer Catalogs

Y. Zhang, T. Jeltema, D. L. Hollowood +83

The center determination of a galaxy cluster from an optical cluster finding algorithm can be offset from theoretical prescriptions or -body definitions of its host halo center.…
