Sunyaev & Zel'dovich Effect Thermal S-Z Effect Kinetic S-Z effect
Sunyaev & Zel'dovich Effect 1) SZ effect depends on the projection of n along the line of sights 2) SZ effect is independent of redshift dI/d=0 1) Combination of SZ and X-ray observations gives important information on the gas structure ; Combination of SZ and X-ray observations provide information on the cluster Distance (estimate of H0) 2) SZ observations allow to observe (in principle) all the clusters in the universe
