Substructures revealed by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect at 150GHz in the high resolution map of RXJ1347-1145
read the original abstract
We report on mapping observations toward the region of the most luminous X-ray cluster RXJ1347-1145 (z=0.45) through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect at 21GHz and 150GHz with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. While a low angular resolution image at 21GHz (beam-size of 76'') shows a consistent feature with the ROSAT/HRI X-ray image, a higher angular resolution image (13'') at 150GHz reveals complex morphological structures of the cluster region, which cannot be simply described by the spherical isothermal beta-model. If such inhomogeneous morphological features prove to be generic for high redshift clusters, distance measurements to the clusters based on their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich data with low angular resolution imaging should be interpreted with caution.
