The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 3
• The kSZ effect expresses the Doppler kick experienced by CMB photons when scattering off rapidly moving electrons
• The kSZ temperature anisotropies is independent of frequency (just like primary CMB anisotropies)
• When looking at the direction of hot gas clouds, it is likely to be contaminated by the (dominant) thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect, which flips from negative to positive at the cross-over frequency of 217 GHz.
• To avoid the tSZ and other contamination, we use different channels and foreground-cleaned maps, like SEVEM, SMICA and NILC.
The Central Galaxy Catalogue (CGC)
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 4
• Based upon SDSS DR7 NYUAV galaxy catalogue after isolating brightest galaxies in 1 Mpc (transversal direction) and 1000 km/s (LOS)
• It consists of 262 673 galaxies placed at z~0.12, of which ~83% should be true central galaxies.
• When placing them in a grid, we retain only the 150,000 most nearby ones

Measuring the kSZ pairwise momentum
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 5
• The peculliar kSZ parwise momentum (pkSZ) is built upon quantities evaluated along the line of sight,
• It expresses the gravitational infall/collapse of structure
• The estimates of the kSZ temperature anisotropies are obtained after applying aperture photometry (AP, TAP) on the CGs, with varying aperture
• We subtract the average TAP within a thin redshift shell of width σz ~0.01 (as in Hand et al. 2012, although results do not depend critically on this choice)
Measuring the kSZ pairwise momentum
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 6
We found a colour-free decrement that becomes more significant (up to 4 σ) for the cleaned SEVEM map and for apertures of 8 – 12 arcmin. For SEVEM @ 8 arcmin, a fit to the output of numerical simulations yields S/N ~ 4.5

The behaviour of the kSZ signal wrt aperture is different to what is found in simulated clusters: this constitutes evidence for signal outside halos.
The impact of tSZ seems to be negligible

Inverting galaxy density into velocity
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 9
• Three approaches: LINEAR, LOG-LINEAR, LOG-2LPT
• Impact of mask: LINEAR method most promising after all
We invert the linear continuity equation to estimate the peculiar velocity field from the CG density field

• Linear reconstruction performs best, S/N ~ 4.6• We normalise recovered velocities to unit RMS• Adopting the velocity amplitude form the
numerical sims, we can infer a value of τT
(Thomson optical depth)
<TkSZ . v/σv >: correlation between kSZ temperature anisotropies and recovered velocities (with RMS=1)
Consistency tests
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 11
• We compute correlation after shuffling the recovered velocities among the CGs: the correlation is only recovered for the correct configuration
• The coupling of intrinsic CMB large modes with large spatial modes of the recovered velocities constitutes the largest contribution to the variance: the low-k modes of the recovered velocities are suppressed after shuffling these

As for the peculiar kSZ pairwise momentum, we find more kSZ signal at apertures close to 8 arcmin (~0.8 Mpc at z~0.12) than at 5 arcmin, and it extends up to ~12 arcmin.
The typical CG virial radius is below 200 Kpc: gas outside halos?

• From the <TkSZ . v/σv > correlation, from the LINEAR approach, we obtain
τT = 1.7+0.6-1.0 x 10-4
• From the kSZ pairwise momentum, we obtain
τT = 2.5 +/- 0.6 x 10-4
• For a typical CG halo we expect
τT = 4 x 10-5

According to Planck, cylinders centred upon CGs up to a distance d=300 Mpc/h contain a fraction of 80+30
-50 % of all baryons. That is, Planck’s observations are compatible to having detected all missing baryons at z~ 0.12
Conclusions
Hernández-Monteagudo, "Planck's Constraints on the missing baryons" 18
• Planck has measured a pairwise momentum in the direction of central galaxies (CGs) at z=0.12 that is independent of frequency and shows a form very close to expectations from numerical simulations and previous measurements of Hand et al. 2012. The signficance level for frequency maps lies at the level of 3σ, increasing to > 4σ for foreground-cleaned maps.
• The value of the Thomson optical depth from this pairwise momentum is τT = 2.5 +/- 0.6 x 10-4
• After inverting the CG density field into an estimate of the peculiar velocity field, and cross-correlating it to Planck kSZ temperature estimates, we find evidence for bulk flows extending up to ~ 100 Mpc/h with S/N> 4.5. The inferred value for the Thomson optical depth is
τT = 1.7+0.6-1.0 x 10-4
• In both cases, we find evidence for kSZ signal arising outside halos. Accounting for the CG number density, we find that structures contributing to the kSZ around all CGs up to 300 Mpc/h contain 80+30
-50 % of all baryons.
