Measuring the Mach number of the Universe via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. F. Atrio–Barandela 1
We introduce a new statistic to measure more accurately the cosmic sound speed of clusters of galaxies at different redshifts. This statistic is evaluated by cross-correlating cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations caused by the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect from observed clusters of galaxies wi...
