abstract

We have constructed all-sky y-maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect by applying specifically tailored component separation algorithms to the 30 to 857 GHz frequency channel maps from the Planck satellite survey. These reconstructed y-maps are delivered as part of the Planck 2015 release. The y-maps are characterised in terms of noise properties and residual foreground contamination, mainly thermal dust emission at large angular scales and CIB and extragalactic point sources at small angular scales. Specific masks are defined to minimize foreground residuals and systematics. Using these masks we compute the y-map angular power spectrum and higher order statistics. From these we conclude that the y-map is dominated by tSZ signal in the multipole range, 20-600. We compare the measured tSZ power spectrum and higher order statistics to various physically motivated models and discuss the implications of our results in terms of cluster physics and cosmology.

ComPACT: Mass-Redshift Properties of the galaxy cluster catalogue

astro-ph.CO · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

ComPACT is a new SZ-selected galaxy cluster catalogue from CNN analysis of ACT+Planck data with 2,962 candidates, ~60% confirmation, 116 new redshifts, 158 new masses, and five new massive clusters at z>0.7 that increase the known high-mass high-z population by ~10%.
