The potential of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect for cluster studies has long been appreciated, although not yet fully exploited. Recent technological advances and improvements in observing strategies have changed this, to the point where it is now possible to speak of this subject at a meeting devoted to {em surveys} in Cosmology. We will discuss SZ surveys by distinguishing what may be called {em pointed surveys}, dedicated to pre-selected clusters, from {em blind surveys}, those searching for clusters in blank fields. Surveys of the former type already have significant numbers of clusters with very good signal-to-noise images; surveys of the second type are currently possible, but as yet not undertaken. The discussion will focus on the kind of science that can be done in this ``new territory.

(Abriged version) The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect of galaxy clusters is a tool to measure three quantities: Compton parameter, electron temperature, and cluster peculiar velocity. However, a major problem is non-removed contamination by astrophysic
al sources that emit in the SZ frequencies. This includes interstellar dust emission, infra-red (IR) galaxies, and radio sources in addition to primary Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. The three former contaminations induce systematic shifts in the three SZ parameters. In this study, we carefully estimated, both for a large beam experiment (namely Planck Surveyor) and a small beam experiment (ACT-like), the systematic errors that result if a fraction of the expected levels of emission from dust, IR galaxies, and radio sources remains non-removed. ...
The cosmological potential of large-scale structure observations for cosmology have been extensively discussed in the litterature. In particular, it has recently been shown how Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) cluster surveys can be used to constrain dark ener
gy parameters. In this paper, we study whether selection and systematics effects will limit future wide-field SZ surveys from achieving their cosmological potential. For this purpose, we use a sky simulation and an SZ-cluster detection software presented in Pires et al. (2005), using the future Olimpo, APEX and Planck surveys as a concrete examples. We show that the SZ-cluster selection function and contamination of SZ-cluster catalogues are more complex than is usually assumed. In particular, the simulated field-to-field detected cluster counts is a factor 3 larger than the expected Poisson fluctuations. We also study the impact of missing redshift information and of the uncertainty of the scaling relations for low mass clusters. We quantify, through hypothesis tests, how near-future SZ experiments can be used to discriminate between different structure formation models. Using a maximum likelihood approach, we then study the impact of these systematics on the joint measurement of cosmological models and of cluster scaling relations.
Although numerous ethics courses are available, with many focusing specifically on technology and computer ethics, pedagogical approaches employed in these courses rely exclusively on texts rather than on software development or data analysis. Techni
cal students often consider these courses unimportant and a distraction from the real material. To develop instructional materials and methodologies that are thoughtful and engaging, we must strive for balance: between texts and coding, between critique and solution, and between cutting-edge research and practical applicability. Finding such balance is particularly difficult in the nascent field of responsible data science (RDS), where we are only starting to understand how to interface between the intrinsically different methodologies of engineering and social sciences. In this paper we recount a recent experience in developing and teaching an RDS course to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in data science. We then dive into an area that is critically important to RDS -- transparency and interpretability of machine-assisted decision-making, and tie this area to the needs of emerging RDS curricula. Recounting our own experience, and leveraging literature on pedagogical methods in data science and beyond, we propose the notion of an object-to-interpret-with. We link this notion to nutritional labels -- a family of interpretability tools that are gaining popularity in RDS research and practice. With this work we aim to contribute to the nascent area of RDS education, and to inspire others in the community to come together to develop a deeper theoretical understanding of the pedagogical needs of RDS, and contribute concrete educational materials and methodologies that others can use.

We forecast the number of galaxy clusters that can be detected via the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signals by future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, primarily the wide area survey of the CMB-S4 experiment but also CMB-S4s smaller d
elensing survey and the proposed CMB-HD experiment. We predict that CMB-S4 will detect 75,000 clusters with its wide survey of $f_{rm sky}$ = 50% and 14,000 clusters with its deep survey of $f_{rm sky}$ = 3%. Of these, approximately 1350 clusters will be at $z ge 2$, a regime that is difficult to probe by optical or X-ray surveys. We assume CMB-HD will survey the same sky as the S4-Wide{}, and find that CMB-HD will detect $times3$ more overall and an order of magnitude more $z ge 2$ clusters than CMB-S4. These results include galactic and extragalactic foregrounds along with atmospheric and instrumental noise. Using CMB-cluster lensing to calibrate cluster tSZ-mass scaling relation, we combine cluster counts with primary CMB to obtain cosmological constraints for a two parameter extension of the standard model ($Lambda CDM+sum m_{ u}+w_{0}$). Besides constraining $sigma(w_{0})$ to $lesssim 1%$, we find that both surveys can enable a $sim 2.5-4.5sigma$ detection of $sum m_{ u}$, substantially strengthening CMB-only constraints. We also study the evolution of intracluster medium by modelling the cluster virialization ${rm v}(z)$ and find tight constraints from CMB-S4, with further factors of 3-4 improvement for CMB-HD.
The kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich effect (kSZ) effect is a potentially powerful probe to the missing baryons. However, the kSZ signal is overwhelmed by various contaminations and the cosmological application is hampered by loss of redshift information du
e to the projection effect. We propose a kSZ tomography method to alleviate these problems, with the aid of galaxy spectroscopic redshift surveys. We propose to estimate the large scale peculiar velocity through the 3D galaxy distribution, weigh it by the 3D galaxy density and adopt the product projected along the line of sight with a proper weighting as an estimator of the true kSZ temperature fluctuation $Theta$. We thus propose to measure the kSZ signal through the $Hat{Theta}$-$Theta$ cross correlation. This approach has a number of advantages (see details in the abstract of the paper). We test the proposed kSZ tomography against non-adiabatic and adiabatic hydrodynamical simulations. We confirm that $hat{Theta}$ is indeed tightly correlated with $Theta$ at $kla 1h/$Mpc, although nonlinearities in the density and velocity fields and nonlinear redshift distortion do weaken the tightness of the $hat{Theta}$-$Theta$ correlation. We further quantify the reconstruction noise in $Hat{Theta}$ from galaxy distribution shot noise. Based on these results, we quantify the applicability of the proposed kSZ tomography for future surveys. We find that, in combination with the BigBOSS-N spectroscopic redshift survey, the PLANCK CMB experiment will be able to detect the kSZ with an overall significance of $sim 50sigma$ and further measure its redshift distribution at many redshift bins over $0<z<2$.
