摘要： We carry out a thermal energy census of hot baryons at $z < 1$, by cross-correlating the \emph{Planck} MILCA y-map with 0.8 million clusters/groups selected from the Yang et.al (2021) catalog. The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect around these clusters/groups are reliably obtained, which enables us to make our model constraints based on one-halo (1h) and two-halo (2h) contributions, respectively. (1) The total measurement S/N of the one-halo term is 63. We constrain the $Y$-$M$ relation over the halo mass range of $10^{13}$-$10^{15} M_\odot/h$, and find $Y\propto M^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha= 1.8$ at $z=0.14$ ($\alpha=2.1$ at $z=0.75$). The total thermal energy of gas bound to clusters/groups increases from $0.1\ \rm meV/cm^3$ at $z=0.14$ to $0.22\ \rm meV/cm^3$ at $z=0.75$. (2) The two-halo term is used to constrain the bias-weighted electron pressure $\langle b_yP_e \rangle$. We find that $\langle b_yP_e \rangle$ (in unit of $\rm meV/cm^3$) increases from $0.24\pm 0.02$ at $z=0.14$ to $0.45\pm 0.02$ at $z=0.75$. These results lead to several implications. (i) The hot gas fraction $f_{\rm gas}$ in clusters/groups monotonically increase with halo mass, where $f_{\rm gas}$ of a $10^{14} M_\odot/h$ halo is $\sim 50\%$ ($25\%$) of the cosmic mean at $z=0.14\ (0.75)$. (ii) By comparing the 1h- and 2h-terms, we obtain tentative constraint on the thermal energy of unbound gas. (iii) The above results lead to significant suppression of matter and weak lensing power spectrum at small scales. These implications are important for astrophysics and cosmology, and we will further investigate them with improved data and gas modeling.

摘要： We report a $5\sigma$ detection of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, combining galaxy clusters in DESI imaging surveys and the Planck temperature maps. The detection is facilitated by both improvements in the data and in the analysis method. For the data, we adopt the recently released galaxy group catalog (Y20: \cite{yang2020extended}) with $\sim 10^6$ robustly-identified groups, and construct various galaxy cluster samples for the kSZ measurement. The Y20 catalogue also provides estimation of halo mass, which further improves the kSZ measurement by $\sim 10\%$. For the analysis method, we derive an optimal estimator of pairwise kSZ through the maximum likelihood analysis. It also handles potential systematic errors self-consistently. The baseline cluster sample, containing the $1.2\times 10^5$ richest galaxy clusters of typical mass ~$ 10^{14} M_{\odot}/h$ at typical redshift $0.2$-$0.5$, rules out the null hypothesis at $5\sigma$. When fitting with a pairwise kSZ template from simulations, the signal is detected at $4.7\sigma$ and the average optical depth is constrained as $\bar{\tau}_e=(1.66\pm 0.35)\times 10^{-4}$. We perform various internal checks, with different cluster selection criteria, different sky coverage and redshift range, different CMB maps, different filter sizes, different treatments of potential systematics and the covariance matrix. The kSZ effect is consistently detected with $2.5\leq $S/N$\leq 5.6$ and acceptable $\chi^2_{\rm min}$, across a variety of cluster samples. The S/N is limited by both the Planck resolution and the photo-z accuracy, and therefore can be significant improved with DESI spectroscopic redshift information and with other CMB experiments.
