30 Oct 2013 | | Abstract: | We present a statistical analysis of the millimeter-wavelength properties of
1.4 GHz-selected sources and a detection of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect
associated with the halos that host them. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT)
has conducted a survey at 148 GHz, 218 GHz and 277 GHz along the celestial
equator. Using samples of radio sources selected at 1.4 GHz from FIRST and
NVSS, we measure the stacked 148, 218 and 277 GHz flux densities for sources
with 1.4 GHz flux densities ranging from 5 to 200 mJy. At these flux densities,
the radio source population is dominated by active galactic nuclei (AGN), with
both steep and flat spectrum populations, which have combined
radio-to-millimeter spectral indices ranging from 0.5 to 0.95, reflecting the
prevalence of steep spectrum sources at high flux densities and the presence of
flat spectrum sources at lower flux densities. The thermal SZ effect associated
with the halos that host the AGN is detected at the 5$sigma$ level through its
spectral signature. When we compare the SZ effect with weak lensing
measurements of radio galaxies, we find that the relation between the two is
consistent with that measured by Planck for local bright galaxies. We present a
detection of the SZ effect in some of the lowest mass halos (average
$M_{200}approx10^{13}$M$_{odot}h_{70}^{-1}$) studied to date. This detection
is particularly important in the context of galaxy evolution models, as it
confirms that galaxies with radio AGN also typically support hot gaseous halos.
With Herschel observations, we show that the SZ detection is not significantly
contaminated by dust. We show that 5 mJy$<S_{1.4}<$200 mJy radio sources
contribute $ell(ell+1)C_{ell}/(2pi)=0.37pm0.03mu$K$^2$ to the angular
power spectrum at $ell=3000$ at 148 GHz, after accounting for the SZ effect
associated with their host halos. | | Source: | arXiv, 1310.8281 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
