The estimation of the SZ effects with
unbiased multifilters
Diego Herranz, J.L. Sanz, R.B. Barreiro & M. López-Caniego
Instituto de Física de Cantabria
Workshop on the SZ effect & ALMA – Orsay – April 8th 2005
Overview
• Linear multifilters for the detection of
the SZ effects: motivation & review
• Joint study of two signals with the
same spatial profile and different
frequency dependence: bias.
• The unbiased matched multifilter.
• Conclusions.

PROS CONS
Easy to understand and to implement Adequate for compact sources Robust Fast
• Not as powerful as more sophisticated techniques (higher order statistics, etc) • Not yet optimised for extended/irregular objects
The matched multifilter (Herranz et al, 2002, MNRAS, 336, 1057) is a useful tool to enhance the SZE signal
Blind surveys with low angular resolution (Planck)

• How do the clusters look like?
• How do they appear at different wavelengths?
• How does the background behave at the different wavelengths?

4. Conclusions:16
• SZ thermal effect can introduce dramatic systematic effects in the estimation of the kinematic effect
• It is possible to cancel this systematic effect introducing a new constraint in the formulation of the filters:
o It is not necessary to know a priori the thermal effect
o The variance of the estimator increases a little bit
• The errors in the determination of the peculiar velocities of individual clusters remain very large.
• However, once the estimator is unbiased it can be used for statistical analysis of large numbers of clusters (bulk flows, etc)
