We consider the effect of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) frequency spectral distortions arising due to the Compton scattering of the anisotropic radiation on Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) clusters. We derive the correction to the thermal SZ effect due to the presence of multipoles with $ell=1,2,3$ in the anisotropy of the CMB radiation. We show that this effect gives us an opportunity for an independent evaluation of the CMB dipole, quadrupole and octupole angular anisotropy in our location using distorted signal from the nearby galaxy clusters and to distinguish between the Sachs-Wolfe (SW) and the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effects by combining such signals from distant and nearby clusters. The future space mission Millimetron will have unprecedented sensitivity, which will make it possible to observe the spectral distortion we are considering.

In the standard hot cosmological model, the black-body temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), $T_{rm CMB}$, increases linearly with redshift. Across the line of sight CMB photons interact with the hot ($sim10^{7-8}$ K) and diffuse gas
of electrons from galaxy clusters. This interaction leads to the well known thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (tSZ), which produces a distortion of the black-body emission law, depending on $T_{rm CMB}$. Using tSZ data from the ${it Planck}$ satellite it is possible to constrain $T_{rm CMB}$ below z=1. Focusing on the redshift dependance of $T_{rm CMB}$ we obtain $T_{rm CMB}(z)=(2.726pm0.001)times (1+z)^{1-beta}$ K with $beta=0.009pm0.017$, improving previous constraints. Combined with measurements of molecular species absorptions, we derive $beta=0.006pm0.013$. These constraints are consistent with the standard (i.e. adiabatic, $beta=0$) Big-Bang model.
We consider the Stokes parameters frequency spectral distortions arising due to Compton scattering of the anisotropic cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, the Sunyaev-Zel dovich effect (SZ), towards clusters of galaxies. We single out a very
special type of such distortions and find simple analytical formulas for them. We show that this kind of distortion has a very distinctive spectral shape and can be separated from other kinds of contaminants. We demonstrate that this effect gives us an opportunity for an independent estimation of the low-multipole angular CMB anisotropies, such as the dipole, the quadrupole, and the octupole. We also show that, using distorted signals from nearby and distant clusters, one can distinguish between the Sachs-Wolfe and the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effects. The detection of such distortions can be feasible with high-angular resolution and high-sensitivity space missions, such as the upcoming Millimetron Space Observatory experiment.
Optimal analyses of many signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) require map-level extraction of individual components in the microwave sky, rather than measurements at the power spectrum level alone. To date, nearly all map-level component
separation in CMB analyses has been performed exclusively using satellite data. In this paper, we implement a component separation method based on the internal linear combination (ILC) approach which we have designed to optimally account for the anisotropic noise (in the 2D Fourier domain) often found in ground-based CMB experiments. Using this method, we combine multi-frequency data from the Planck satellite and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol) to construct the first wide-area, arcminute-resolution component-separated maps (covering approximately 2100 sq. deg.) of the CMB temperature anisotropy and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect sourced by the inverse-Compton scattering of CMB photons off hot, ionized gas. Our ILC pipeline allows for explicit deprojection of various contaminating signals, including a modified blackbody approximation of the cosmic infrared background (CIB) spectral energy distribution. The cleaned CMB maps will be a useful resource for CMB lensing reconstruction, kinematic SZ cross-correlations, and primordial non-Gaussianity studies. The tSZ maps will be used to study the pressure profiles of galaxies, groups, and clusters through cross-correlations with halo catalogs, with dust contamination controlled via CIB deprojection. The data products described in this paper are available on LAMBDA.
We present a detection of the unnormalized skewness <T^3> induced by the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect in filtered Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) 148 GHz cosmic microwave background temperature maps. Contamination due to infrared and radi
o sources is minimized by template subtraction of resolved sources and by constructing a mask using outlying values in the 218 GHz (tSZ-null) ACT maps. We measure <T^3>= -31 +- 6 mu K^3 (measurement error only) or +- 14 mu K^3 (including cosmic variance error) in the filtered ACT data, a 5-sigma detection. We show that the skewness is a sensitive probe of sigma_8, and use analytic calculations and tSZ simulations to obtain cosmological constraints from this measurement. From this signal alone we infer a value of sigma_8= 0.79 +0.03 -0.03 (68 % C.L.) +0.06 -0.06 (95 % C.L.). Our results demonstrate that measurements of non-Gaussianity can be a useful method for characterizing the tSZ effect and extracting the underlying cosmological information.
The largest temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the dipole, which has been measured with increasing accuracy for more than three decades, particularly with the Planck satellite. The simplest interpretation of the dipole
is that it is due to our motion with respect to the rest frame of the CMB. Since current CMB experiments infer temperature anisotropies from angular intensity variations, the dipole modulates the temperature anisotropies with the same frequency dependence as the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. We present the first, and significant, detection of this signal in the tSZ maps and find that it is consistent with direct measurements of the CMB dipole, as expected. The signal contributes power in the tSZ maps, which is modulated in a quadrupolar pattern, and we estimate its contribution to the tSZ bispectrum, noting that it contributes negligible noise to the bispectrum at relevant scales.
