The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter-wavelength telescope surveying the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The SPT measures both the temperature and polarization of the CMB with a large aperture, resulting in high-resolution maps sensitive to signals across a wide range of angular scales on the sky. With these capabilities, the SPT has the potential to constrain inflationary...
Arcmin resolution thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) observations (e.g. SPT, ACT and Planck) only allowed detailed studies of the intra cluster
medium morphology for low redshift clusters (z < 0.2).
The development of precision cosmology with clusters requires high-angular resolution observations to extend the understanding of galaxy clusters towards high redshift. NIKA2 is a wide-field (6.5...
