EFFECT OF INTERNAL FLOWS ON SUNYAEV-ZELDOVICH MEASUREMENTS OF CLUSTER
PECULIAR VELOCITIES

ABSTRACT
Galaxy clusters are potentially powerful probes of the large-scale velocity field in the Universe because
their peculiar velocity can be estimated directly via the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (kSZ). Using
high-resolution cosmological simulations of an evolving cluster of galaxies, we evaluate how well the
average velocity obtained via a kSZ measurement reflects the actual cluster peculiar velocity. We find
that the internal velocities in the intracluster gas are comparable to the overall cluster peculiar velocity,
20 to 30% of the sound speed even when a cluster is relatively relaxed. Nevertheless, the velocity averaged
over the kSZ map inside a circular aperture matched to the cluster virial region provides an unbiased
estimate of a cluster’s radial peculiar velocity with a dispersion of 50 to 100 km/s, depending on the
line of sight and dynamical state of the cluster. This dispersion puts a lower limit on the accuracy with
which cluster peculiar velocity can be measured. Although the dispersion of the average is relatively
small, the velocity distribution is broad; regions of low signal must be treated with care to avoid bias.
We discuss the extent to which systematic errors might be modelled, and the resulting limitations on
using galaxy clusters as cosmological velocity tracers.
