NIKA 150 GHz polarization observations of the Crab nebula and its spectral energy distribution

A. Ritacco, J. F. Macías Pérez, N. Ponthieu +45

The Crab nebula is a supernova remnant exhibiting a highly polarized synchrotron radiation at radio and millimeter wavelengths. It is the brightest source in the microwave sky with…

Sub-structure and merger detection in resolved NIKA Sunyaev-Zel'dovich images of distant clusters

R. Adam, O. Hahn, F. Ruppin +48

Sub-structures in the hot gas of galaxy clusters are related to their formation history and to the astrophysical processes at play in the intracluster medium (ICM). The thermal Sun…

Mapping the hot gas temperature in galaxy clusters using X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich imaging

R. Adam, M. Arnaud, I. Bartalucci +42

We propose a method to map the temperature distribution of the hot gas in galaxy clusters that uses resolved images of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect in combination wi…

Non-parametric deprojection of NIKA SZ observations: Pressure distribution in the Planck-discovered cluster PSZ1 G045.85+57.71

F. Ruppin, R. Adam, B. Comis +38

The determination of the thermodynamic properties of clusters of galaxies at intermediate and high redshift can bring new insights into the formation of large-scale structures. It…

Mapping the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect toward MACS J0717.5+3745 with NIKA

R. Adam, I. Bartalucci, G. W. Pratt +47

Measurement of the gas velocity distribution in galaxy clusters provides insight into the physics of mergers, through which large scale structures form in the Universe. Velocity es…

High angular resolution Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations of MACS J1423.8+2404 with NIKA: Multiwavelength analysis

R. Adam, B. Comis, I. Bartalucci +42

The prototype of the NIKA2 camera, NIKA, is an instrument operating at the IRAM 30-m telescope, which can observe simultaneously at 150 and 260GHz. One of the main goals of NIKA2 i…
