Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe DR5

Predicted Sunyaev-Zeldovich Power Spectra

The angular power spectrum due to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect as adapted from Battaglia et al., 2012 are supplied for three frequencies: 61GHz (corresponding to WMAP), 148GHz (corresponding to ACT) and 150GHz (corresponding to SPT).

The spectra are supplied in three ASCII text files with two columns each. The first column is the multipole moment, l. The second is the spectrum in μK².

The spectra were computed with the following parameter assumptions:

They are supplied in the form: l (l + 1) C_l^TT / 2 π
