We use the cosmo-OWLS suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, which includes different galactic feedback models, to predict the cross-correlation signal between weak gravitational lensing and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) $y$-parameter. The predictions are compared to the recent detection reported by van Waerbeke and collaborators. The simulations reproduce the weak lensing-tSZ cross-correlation, $xi_{ykappa}(theta)$, well. The uncertainty arising from different possible feedback models appears to be important on small scales only ($theta lesssim 10$ arcmin), while the amplitude of the correlation on all scales is sensitive to cosmological parameters that control the growth rate of structure (such as $sigma_8$, $Omega_m$ and $Omega_b$). This study confirms our previous claim (in Ma et al.) that a significant proportion of the signal originates from the diffuse gas component in low-mass ($M_{rm{halo}} lesssim 10^{14} M_{odot}$) clusters as well as from the region beyond the virial radius. We estimate that approximately 20$%$ of the detected signal comes from low-mass clusters, which corresponds to about 30$%$ of the baryon density of the Universe. The simulations also suggest that more than half of the baryons in the Universe are in the form of diffuse gas outside halos ($gtrsim 5$ times the virial radius) which is not hot or dense enough to produce a significant tSZ signal or be observed by X-ray experiments. Finally, we show that future high-resolution tSZ-lensing cross-correlation observations will serve as a powerful tool for discriminating between different galactic feedback models.

We confront the universal pressure profile (UPP) proposed by~citet{Arnaud10} with the recent measurement of the cross-correlation function of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect from Planck and weak gravitational lensing measurement from the R
ed Cluster Sequence lensing survey (RCSLenS). By using the halo model, we calculate the prediction of $xi^{y-kappa}$ (lensing convergence and Compton-$y$ parameter) and $xi^{y-gamma_{rm t}}$ (lensing shear and Compton-$y$ parameter) and fit the UPP parameters by using the observational data. We find consistent UPP parameters when fixing the cosmology to either WMAP 9-year or Planck 2018 best-fitting values. The best constrained parameter is the pressure profile concentration $c_{500}=r_{500}/r_{rm s}$, for which we find $c_{500} = 2.68^{+1.46}_{-0.96}$ (WMAP-9) and $c_{500} = 1.91^{+1.07}_{-0.65}$ (Planck-2018) for the $xi^{y-gamma_t}$ estimator. The shape index for the intermediate radius region $alpha$ parameter is constrained to $alpha=1.75^{+1.29}_{-0.77}$ and $alpha = 1.65^{+0.74}_{-0.5}$ for WMAP-9 and Planck-2018 cosmologies, respectively. Propagating the uncertainties of the UPP parameters to pressure profiles results in a factor of $3$ uncertainty in the shape and magnitude. Further investigation shows that most of the signal of the cross-correlation comes from the low-redshift, inner halo profile ($r leqslant r_{rm vir}/2$) with halo mass in the range of $10^{14}$--$10^{15},{rm M}_{odot}$, suggesting that this is the major regime that constitutes the cross-correlation signal between weak lensing and tSZ.
Recent first detections of the cross-correlation of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signal in Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps with gravitational lensing maps inferred from the Planck CMB data and the CFHTLenS galaxy surv
ey provide new probes of the relationship between baryons and dark matter. Using cosmological hydrodynamics simulations, we show that these cross-correlation signals are dominated by contributions from hot gas in the intracluster medium (ICM), rather than diffuse, unbound gas located beyond the virial radius (the missing baryons). Thus, these cross-correlations offer a tool with which to study the ICM over a wide range of halo masses and redshifts. In particular, we show that the tSZ - CMB lensing cross-correlation is more sensitive to gas in lower-mass, higher-redshift halos and gas at larger cluster-centric radii than the tSZ - galaxy lensing cross-correlation. Combining these measurements with primary CMB data will constrain feedback models through their signatures in the ICM pressure profile. We forecast the ability of ongoing and future experiments to constrain such ICM parameters, including the mean amplitude of the pressure - mass relation, the redshift evolution of this amplitude, and the mean outer logarithmic slope of the pressure profile. The results are promising, with $approx 5-20$% precision constraints achievable with upcoming experiments, even after marginalizing over cosmological parameters.
We report the first detection of a correlation between gravitational lensing by large scale structure and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. Using the mass map from the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) and a newly-con
structed tSZ map from Planck, we measure a non-zero correlation between the two maps out to one degree angular separation on the sky, with an overall significance of 6 sigma. The tSZ maps are formed in a manner that removes primary cosmic microwave background fluctuations and minimizes residual contamination by galactic and extragalactic dust emission, and by CO line emission. We perform numerous tests to show that our measurement is immune to these residual contaminants. The resulting correlation function is consistent with the existence of a warm baryonic gas tracing the large scale structure with a bias b_gas. Given the shape of the lensing kernel, our signal sensitivity peaks at a redshift z~0.4, where half a degree separation on the sky corresponds to a physical scale of ~10 Mpc. The amplitude of the signal constrains the product (b_gas/1)(T_e / 0.1 keV)(n_e / 1 m^-3)=2.01pm 0.31pm 0.21, at redshift zero. Our study suggests that a substantial fraction of the missing baryons in the universe may reside in a low density warm plasma that traces dark matter.
Stacking cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps around known galaxy clusters and groups provides a powerful probe of the distribution of hot gas in these systems via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. A stacking analysis allows one to detect the aver
age SZ signal around low mass halos, and to extend measurements out to large scales, which are too faint to detect individually in the SZ or in X-ray emission. In addition, cross correlations between SZ maps and other tracers of large-scale structure (with known redshifts) can be used to extract the redshift-dependence of the SZ background. Motivated by these exciting prospects, we measure the two-point cross-correlation function between a catalog of $sim 380,000$ galaxy groups (with redshifts spanning $z=0.01-0.2$) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Compton-y parameter maps constructed by the Planck collaboration. We find statistically significant correlations between the group catalog and Compton-y maps in each of six separate mass bins, with estimated halo masses in the range $10^{11.5-15.5} M_odot/h$. We compare these measurements with halo models of the SZ signal, which describe the stacked measurement in terms of one-halo and two-halo terms. The one-halo term quantifies the average pressure profile around the groups in a mass bin, while the two-halo term describes the contribution of correlated neighboring halos. For the more massive groups we find clear evidence for the one- and two-halo regimes, while groups with mass below $10^{13} M_odot/h$ are dominated by the two-halo term given the resolution of Planck data. We use the signal in the two-halo regime to determine the bias-weighted electron pressure of the universe: $langle b P_e rangle= 1.50 pm 0.226 times 10^{-7}$ keV cm$^{-3}$ (1-$sigma$) at $zapprox 0.15$.
We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the lowest order cross-correlation, we introduce a hierarchy of mixed highe
r-order statistics, the cumulants and cumulant correlators, to analyze non-Gaussianity in real space, as well as corresponding polyspectra in the harmonic domain. Using these moments, we derive analytical expressions for the joint two-point probability distribution function (2PDF) for smoothed tSZ (y_s) and convergence (kappa_s) maps. The presence of tomographic information allows us to study the evolution of higher order {em mixed} tSZ-weak lensing statistics with redshift. We express the joint PDFs p_{kappa y}(kappa_s,y_s) in terms of individual one-point PDFs (p_{kappa}(kappa_s), p_y(y_s)) and the relevant bias functions (b_{kappa}(kappa_s), b_y(y_s)). Analytical results for two different regimes are presented that correspond to the small and large angular smoothing scales. Results are also obtained for corresponding {em hot spots} in the tSZ and convergence maps. In addition to results based on hierarchical techniques and perturbative methods, we present results of calculations based on the lognormal approximation. The analytical expressions derived here are generic and applicable to cross-correlation studies of arbitrary tracers of large scale structure including e.g. that of tSZ and soft X-ray background.
