Probing the rotation of cluster galaxies with C-EAGLE and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich signals
Abstract
The dynamics of galaxies and galaxy clusters is an incredible probe for studying their origin and evolution. However, their complex environment constitutes a real challenge for disentangling the individual processes occurring within the Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM) and Inter-Galactic Medium (IGM). As shown in my previous Master project, the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (kSZ) effect is able to probe the motion of hot ionised gas in the IGM and CGM, imprinting a very characteristic diplole signature in the case of rotating media. This project investigates the rotational SZ signals (rkSZ) from the EAGLE and C-EAGLE simulations, in order to search for correlation between the rotation of galaxies and clusters and the underlying dark matter density field.
