The Thermal and Kinematic Sunyaev–Zeldovich Effect in Galaxy Clusters and Filaments Using Multifrequency Temperature Maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background: A399–A401 Cluster Pair Case Study

Journal article Astrophysical Journal · June 10, 2026 We present a multifrequency and multi-instrument methodology to study the physical properties of galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments using cosmic microwave background observations. Our approach enables simultaneous measurement of both the thermal (tSZ) an ... Full text Cite

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: stellar mass growth in massive galaxy clusters from DR5 over the past 7 billion years

Journal article Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society · June 1, 2026 We probe the stellar mass growth in a sample of 568 Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) selected galaxy clusters with masses greater than (Formula presented) and redshifts in the range (Formula presented), drawn from the fifth data release of the Atacama Cosmology Tel ...

Test of the Gravitational Force Law on Cosmological Scales Using the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect.

Journal article Physical review letters · April 2026 The mean pairwise velocity of massive halos reflects the gravitational force law on cosmic scales. We combine cosmic microwave background intensity maps from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and a galaxy catalog from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to estimate ... Full text Cite
