  3. 3/33 (1) Introduction (a) Cluster of Galaxies (CG)RX J1347 (z=0.45, 5×109 light years) 0.9 Mpc Optical Image by Subaru X-ray Image by Chandra

  4. Galaxies Hot plasmas 4/33 Structure of CG

  5. CMB photons ν ν=218GHz 5/33 (b) Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) Effect Distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)photon spectrum due to electrons in the CG.(Inverse Compton scattering) Sunyaev & Zeldovich, CommentsAstrophys. Space Phys. 4, 173 (1972)

  6. Determination of the Hubble constant with CG --- Thermal SZ effect of CG --- X-ray intensity of CG : diameter of CG along the line of sight 6/33 Thermal SZ effect determines ΔTCMB． Low frequency region --- temperature decrement High frequency region --- temperature increment

  7. With the redshift observation, the Hubble constant H0 is determined (H0=v/DA). WMAP data 7/33 Assumption: CG is spherical.

  8. 8/33 Advantages of the SZ effects: ・Total radiation intensity is redshift independent! ECMB ∝ (1+z)4 (energy density of CMB) DA ∝ (1+z)2 (angular diameter distance) Itotal ∝ ECMB/D2---z-dependences cancel out!・Determination of H0, cosmological constants, peculiar velocity field, etc. Disadvantages of the SZ effects:・Assumption of the spherical symmetry for CG・ Small signals ΔTCMB～10-3 Chandra and XMM-Newton have opened a new era for precise observation of the SZ effect.

  9. Determination of cosmological constants with SZ effect
