Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect
Videos
The Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect is the spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background through inverse Compton scattering by high-energy electrons in galaxy clusters, in which the low-energy CMB p
First measurements of the thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array with one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, RX J1347.5-1145.

…of cosmological parameters has been demonstrated by Barbosa et al. (1996). This might help in understanding the dynamics of dark energy in surveys (South Pole Telescope, Atacama Cosmology Telescope, Planck). In 1984, researchers from the Cambridge Radio Astronomy Group and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory first…
