Unresolved Unidentified Source Contribution to the Gamma-ray Background
The large majority of EGRET point sources remain without an identified low-energy counterpart, and a large fraction of these sources are most likely extragalactic. Whatever the nature of the extragalactic EGRET unidentified sources, faint unresolved objects of the same class must have a contribution to the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB). Understanding this component of the EG...
متن کاملTHE SCALAR PERTURBATION SPECTRAL INDEX ns: WMAP SENSITIVITY TO UNRESOLVED POINT SOURCES
Precision measurement of the scalar perturbation spectral index, ns, from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) temperature angular power spectrum requires the subtraction of unresolved point-source power. Here we reconsider this issue, attempting to resolve inconsistencies found in the literature. First, we note a peculiarity in the WMAP temperature likelihood’s response to the sourc...
متن کاملSe p 20 06 Contribution of unresolved point sources to the galactic diffuse emission
The detection by the HESS atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of fifteen new sources from the Galactic plane makes it possible to estimate the contribution of unresolved point sources like those detected by HESS to the diffuse Galactic emission measured by EGRET and recently at higher energies by the Milagro Collaboration. Assuming that HESS sources have all the same intrinsic lumi-nosity, the cont...
متن کاملThe SZ effect contribution to WMAP: A Cross-Correlation between WMAP and ROSAT
We cross-correlate WMAP and ROSAT and look for common features in both data sets. We detect a common structure which shows up clearly in the cross-power spectrum of the cross-correlation. This structure has a coherence length of ≈ 2◦ and its frequency dependence follows the expected SZ effect frequency dependence. Assuming that this structure is due to galaxy clusters, we compute the expected c...
متن کاملAnomalous SZ Contribution to 3 Year WMAP Data
We first show that the new WMAP 3 year data confirm the detection by Myers et al. (2004) of an extended SZ signal centred on 606 Abell clusters with richness class, R 2. We also detect SZ decrements around APM and 2MASS groups at increased significance than previously. We then follow the approach of Lieu et al. (2006) and compare the stacked WMAP results for the decrement in 31 clusters with RO...
