Figure 10: Secondary anisotropies from the proper motion of galaxy clusters across the sky
and Rees–Sciama effects are presented in the upper-left image over in a critically
closed Cold Dark Matter model. The corresponding column density of matter over the same
region ( , ) is displayed in the upper-right, clearly showing the dipolar
nature of the proper motion effect. Anisotropies arising from decaying potentials in an open
model over a scale of are shown in the bottom left image, along with
the gravitational potential over the same region ( , ) in the bottom right,
demonstrating a clear anti-correlation. Maximum temperature fluctuations in each simulation are
respectvely. Secondary anisotropies are dominated by decaying
potentials at large scales, but all three sources (decaying potential, proper motion, and R-S) produce
signatures of order 10–6.
