1 SZE in WMAP Data Jose M. Diego & Bruce Partridge 2010, MNRAS, 402, 1179 La Thuile, March 2012

2 M O T I V A T I O N  Earlier works report a smaller SZE signal in WMAP than expected from X-rays (Lieu et al 2006, Afshordi et al 2007, Atrio-Barandela et al. 2008)  Other works claim that SZE and X-rays are consistent (Mroczkowski et al. 2009)  Point sources in clusters might contaminate SZE signal. But how much ?  Can WMAP data tell us something about this ?

3 Earlier Works Atrio-Barandela et al. 2008. Found evidence of a steepening in the profile Lieu et al. 2006. Significantly less SZ than expected from X rays. z 3E44

4 Earlier Works Mroczkowski et al. 2009. X-ray and SZE compatible with a steeper profile Universal profile

5 Earlier Works Zemcov et al. 2008. SCUBA data suggests higher SZ amplitudes than inferred from lower frequencies “Smoking Gun” for PS contamination (IR) ?

6 Granett et al. 2008. Supervoids and superclusters. ISW or PS (radio)? Earlier Works Significantlyt large “alleged” ISW

7 Use a large catalog of X-ray selected clusters and look for the average SZE in those clusters: X-rays data allows for a calibration of the SZE models. The average SZE (XR) can be more easilly modeled with scaling laws. A large sample is important to average the CMB to zero (or as close as possible). IDEA

8 CLUSTER CMB photons Direct and scattered X-ray photons. SZ and X-rays in clusters SZ = A n T XR = B n 2 T 1/2 CMB

9 Stacking of ROSAT and WMAP Data

10 BCS+eBCS+REFLEX All-Sky flux limited ROSAT sample of 750 clusters. Fluxes from these clusters used to constrain the models. Diffuse All Sky Maps RASS Point Source subtracted including the 3.5 arcmin center in 40% of the clusters in the catalog. RASS maps used to constrain shape *. Effective PSF = ROSAT PSPC + RASS 12 arcminute pixelization + HEALPIX pixelization 2.5 degrees

11 WMAP SZE Q V W 2.5 degrees Kp0 mask. If no mask is used, signal vanishes in Q, significantly reduces in V and remains essentially the same in W but some PS residual still expected.

12 WMAP SZE Effective PSF = WMAP(Gauss) + HEALPIX pixelization

13 Modeling X-ray and SZE in clusters

14 Beta-model vs AD08 Ascasibar & Diego 2008

15 Isothermal Beta Model AD08 Model 5 Free parameters but describes not only the pressure but also the electron density and temperature

16 Ascasibar & Diego 2008 Best fit to CHANDRA profiles from Vikhlinin et al. 2006

17 Temperatures from scaling relation when not available.

18 Core radii unknown. Use scaling laws.

19 R E S U L T S

20 X-ray models. Include the following corrections  Band correction  K-correction  PCS energy response (flux to cps)  Effective PSF  BSC 3.5 arcminute masking

21 WMAP SZE predicted signal vs observed Given X-ray flux constraint, SZE flux goes like r c 2/3 BETA

22 WMAP SZE predicted signal vs observed Given X-ray flux constraint, SZE flux goes like r c 2/3 AD08

23 PS and/or lensing contamination ?

24 NVSS sources (1.45 GHz) in clusters. It is well known that bright radio sources (AGN) exist at the heart of galaxy clusters

25 Lin, Partridge et al. 2009. PS at 40 GHz in clusters About 10 mJy on average in galaxy clusters. Predicts about 7 mJy at 90 GHz SCUBA extrapolations predicts about 1 mJy or less at 90 GHz

26 Lensing should not be an issue. Small fraction of clusters show significant contamination However, conclusions at WMAP frequencies depend on model for background galaxies.

27 Cluster “Concordance” Model. Compatible with all data sets (X-rays, WMAP, PS) ? 16 mJy26 mJy18 mJy

28 Scaling Laws between X-ray and SZE Planck “early” Slope about 1.15 Slope depends on assumed scaling laws

29 C O N C L U S I O N S  SZE seen clearly in WMAP & consistent with expectations  Standard isothermal Beta-model incompatible with data.  PS contamination, profile ? Still open questions but … Planck. Wide frequency and sky coverage will allow to subtract the CMB, study individual resolved clusters, see the most massive clusters in the Universe. ACT/SPT good frequency coverage and superior resolution will allow detailed studies of individual clusters. Specially interesting are secondary anisotropies and PS contamination. Lensing, and Rees-Sciama would benefict from stacking analysis Mustang and beyond. Even better resolution. Internal dynamics, lensing and maybe RS, Free-Free (both at microK level) ?
