Full-sky SZ maps and cluster catalog

This page contains full-sky maps of the kinematic and thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signal. The different models are described in detail in our paper (Flender et al 2015, arXiv:1511.02843). We make the following data products available:<br>ksz_mod1_R13.fits - kSZ map, Model Iksz_mod2_R13.fits - kSZ map, Model IIksz_mod3_R13.fits - kSZ map, Model IIItsz150_R13.fits - tSZ map at 150Ghzcatalog_fullsky_zsm1.fits - full-sky halo catalog<br>All maps are provided in the form of full-sky Healpix maps in ring-ordering with nside=8192. The units in all maps are mikro-Kelvin, relative to the average CMB temperature. The halo catalog contains all halos identified with a friends-of-friends halo finder with more than 1000 particles. The catalog is in fits format with the following fits keys (all float, except HALO_ID, which is a long int):<br>RA - right ascension in degreesDEC - declination in degreesM200RED - M200c (defined with respect to the critical density) in units of Msun/hM200 - M200c in units of MsunM500RED - M500c in units of Msun/h (translated from M200RED, using the cM-relation from Bhattacharya et al. (2013))M500 - M500c in units of MsunREDSHIFT - redshift of the haloHALO_ID - identification number of the haloVLOS - comoving peculiar line-of-sight velocity of the halo, in km/sC200 - concentration assigned to the halo based on M200c, following the cM-relation from Bhattacharya et al. (2013)<br>---The Simulation---Our maps were generated from a simulation carried out with HACC (Habib et al. 2016). In this simulation, 3200³ particles were evolved in a (2.1Gpc)³ volume, leading to a mass resolution of ~10¹⁰Msun. The cosmology used is close to the best-fit WMAP-7 parameters. The simulation is part of a large suite of simulations, the so-called Titan-Mira Universe suite. More results from this simulation, including power spectra, mass functions, and concentration-mass relation measurements can be found in Heitmann et al. (2015).<br>---Publications---If you use our maps and catalogs, please cite our paper:Simulations of the Pairwise Kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich SignalS. Flender, L. Bleem, H. Finkel, S. Habib, K.
