摘要
We study the high order cross-correlation between the WMAP map and 2MASS galaxy distribution in order to detect the non-Gaussian behaviors of the SZ effect on the CMB fluctuations induced by 2MASS. The 2MASS distribution is significantly non-Gaussian, which is characterized by the fourth order correlations in DWT representation. With an unbiased mock sample we show, if the CMB data contains the information of 2MASS hot gas caused SZ effect, the non-Gaussianity of the cross-correlations between the CMB and 2MASS is observable with the fourth order statistics on scales of clusters. We compared this result with the cross-correlation between the observed WMAP data and 2MASS, finding similar non-Gaussianity to the mock SZ samples. It strongly evidences the existence and observability of the SZ signal in the WMAP data caused by the 2MASS clusters.
