论文摘要
我们通过成对运动学的Sunyaev-Zel'Dovich(KSZ)效应从暗能量调查(DES)中推断出光学选择的星系簇样品的平均光学深度。从DES-3年级群集目录中绘制的成对簇之间的成对KSZ信号在宇宙微波背景(CMB)的温度图中以$4.1σ$的价格从南极望远镜上的SPT-3G摄像头进行观察到。削减后,两个实验都观察到的南方天空的$ \ sim 1,400 $ deg $^2 $中有24,580个集群。我们通过两种技术推断群集样品的平均光学深度。从成对KSZ信号推断的光学深度为$ \barτ_e=(2.97 \ pm 0.73)\ times 10^{ - 3} $,而从热sz信号中推断为$ \barτ_e=(2.51 \ pm 0.55^pm pm 0.55^{ 10^{ - 3} $。这两个措施以$0.6σ$一致。我们执行一套系统检查以测试分析的鲁棒性。
We infer the mean optical depth of a sample of optically-selected galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) via the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. The pairwise kSZ signal between pairs of clusters drawn from the DES Year-3 cluster catalog is detected at $4.1 σ$ in cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from two years of observations with the SPT-3G camera on the South Pole Telescope. After cuts, there are 24,580 clusters in the $\sim 1,400$ deg$^2$ of the southern sky observed by both experiments. We infer the mean optical depth of the cluster sample with two techniques. The optical depth inferred from the pairwise kSZ signal is $\barτ_e = (2.97 \pm 0.73) \times 10^{-3}$, while that inferred from the thermal SZ signal is $\barτ_e = (2.51 \pm 0.55^{\text{stat}} \pm 0.15^{\rm syst}) \times 10^{-3}$. The two measures agree at $0.6 σ$. We perform a suite of systematic checks to test the robustness of the analysis.
