Titolo: | Spectral Imaging of Galaxy Clusters with Planck | Autori: | Bourdin, H. Mazzotta, P. RASIA, ELENA |
Data pubblicazione: | 2015 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 815 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | 92 | Abstract: | The Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a promising tool for detecting the presence of hot gas out to the galaxy cluster peripheries. We developed a spectral imaging algorithm dedicated to the SZ observations of nearby galaxy clusters with Planck, with the aim of revealing gas density anisotropies related to the filamentary accretion of materials, or pressure discontinuities induced by the propagation of shock fronts. To optimize an unavoidable trade-off between angular resolution and precision of the SZ flux measurements, the algorithm performs a multi-scale analysis of the SZ maps as well as of other extended components, such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and the Galactic thermal dust. The demixing of the SZ signal is tackled through kernel-weighted likelihood maximizations. The CMB anisotropies are further analyzed through a wavelet analysis, while the Galactic foregrounds and SZ maps are analyzed via a curvelet analysis that best preserves their anisotropic details. The algorithm performance has been tested against mock observations of galaxy clusters obtained by simulating the Planck High Frequency Instrument and by pointing at a few characteristic positions in the sky. These tests suggest that Planck should easily allow us to detect filaments in the cluster peripheries and detect large-scale shocks in colliding galaxy clusters that feature favorable geometry. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23843 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/815/2/92 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.1088/0004-637X/815/2/92 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015ApJ...815...92B | Fulltext: | open |
