The signature of the Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium in WMAP and the forthcoming PLANCK data

We compute the cross-correlation between the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium and maps of Cosmic Microwave Background temperature anisotropies using a log-normal probability density function to describe the weakly non-linear matter density field. We search for this contribution in the data measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. We use a template... Show more
