Abstract

The development of precision cosmology with clusters of galaxies requires high-angular resolution Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) observations. As for now, arcmin resolution SZ observations (e.g. SPT, ACT and Planck) only allowed detailed studies of the intra cluster medium for low redshift clusters (z〈0.2). With both a wide field of view (6.5 arcmin) and a high angular resolution (17.7 and 11.2 arcsec at 150 and 260 GHz), the NIKA2 camera installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope (Pico Veleta, Spain), will bring valuable information in the field of SZ imaging of clusters of galaxies. The NIKA2 SZ observation program will allow us to observe a large sample of clusters (50) at redshifts between 0.4 and 0.9. As a pilot study for NIKA2, several clusters of galaxies have been observed with the pathfinder, NIKA, at the IRAM 30-m telescope to cover the various configurations and observation conditions expected for NIKA2.
