The Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
Wait... an increase in photon energy makes a temperature decrement? Howzat?
How factors depend on h
(remember h=H0/100)
Using the SZ to determine H0
(or h=H0/100)
SZ measurements
Concerns with SZ
X-rays in clusters:
smooth
,
lumpy
,
Coma
Early results were pretty much all over the map
Recent results, well... still are?
(H0=66 +/- 10(ran) +/- 10(sys), from Jones etal MNRAS 357 518 2005)
Next stop: other cosmological parameters?
