Event Information:
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) provides a promising avenue to explore the properties of gas associated with halos and large-scale structures. However, due to contamination by the primary CMB, as well as foregrounds, projection effects, halo identification, and the beam size of current CMB surveys, it is not a trivial task to extract the signal precisely and accurately. In this talk, I will present some recent results of studying the SZE signal from gas in different environments, and discuss the implications for galaxy formation, as well as the uncertainties and potential systematic effects.
