NcXcorLimberKerneltSZ
NcXcorLimberKerneltSZ — Thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect kernel
|
|
Description
The thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is a modification in the observed
temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to the inverse Compton
scattering of CMB photons with high-energy electrons along the line-of-sight. These
electrons are present in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, for
example.
Compton-y parameter
The kernel is given by
\begin{equation}
W(\chi) = \frac{\sigma_T}{m_ec^2} \frac{1}{1+z}.
\end{equation}
Functions
nc_xcor_limber_kernel_tsz_new ()
NcXcorLimberKerneltSZ *
nc_xcor_limber_kernel_tsz_new (gdouble zmax);
Creates a new instance of the tSZ kernel.
