Probing hot gas in galaxy groups through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect
We investigate the potential of exploiting the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) to study the properties of hot gas in galaxy groups. It is shown that, with upcoming SZE surveys, one can stack SZE maps around galaxy groups of similar halo masses selected from large galaxy redshift surveys to study the...

We investigate the potential of exploiting the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) to study the properties of hot gas in galaxy groups. It is shown that, with upcoming SZE surveys, one can stack SZE maps around galaxy groups of similar halo masses selected from large galaxy redshift surveys to study the hot gas in haloes represented by galaxy groups. We use various models for the hot halo gas to study how the expected SZE signals are affected by gas fraction, equation of state, halo concentration and cosmology. Comparing the model predictions with the sensitivities expected from the South Pole Telescope (SPT), Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and Planck surveys shows that a SPT-like survey can provide stringent constraints on the hot gas properties for haloes with masses M greater than or similar to 1013 h-1 M-circle dot.
