Many-probes multi-object spatially-resolved analyses of galaxy clusters in the big data era

Published 2 Nov 2021 in astro-ph.CO and astro-ph.IM | (2111.01834v1)

Abstract: The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect and the X-ray emission offer separate and highly complementary probes of the thermodynamics of the intracluster medium, particularly on their radial dependence. We already released \texttt{JoXSZ}, the first publicly available code designed to jointly fit SZ and X-ray data coming from various instruments to derive the thermodynamic radial profiles of galaxy clusters, including mass. \texttt{JoXSZ;} follows a fully Bayesian forward-modelling approach, adopts flexible parametrization for the thermodynamic profiles and includes many useful options that users can customize according to their needs. We are including shear measurement in our joint analysis, and moving from single-cluster to multi-cluster analyses, allowing to quantify the heterogeneity of thermodynamic properties within the cluster population. At the same time, we are creating a suitable framework that efficiently stores and optimally processes huge volumes of data being released by the current and new generation surveys.
