We estimate the Rees--Sciama (RS) effect of super structures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations and identify a related effect on galaxy redshifts. By numerically solving the geodesic equation, we find that both superclusters and supervoids can decrease the temperature of the CMB by several micro Kelvin in the central region and increase the temperature slightly in the surrounding area due to the RS effect. The two components of the RS effect, redshift and gravitational time delay, largely cancel each other, leaving an equivalent but much smaller effect on the CMB photons that started out at the same time from the distorted last scattering surface. For galaxies, the time delay effect is separable from the redshift effect, and the slight change to the redshift induced by super structures can be at the percent level of large-scale rms bulk velocities, which might only be detected statistically. On much smaller scales, a tiny redshift difference between two images of a strongly lensed source should exist in general, which is related to the Hubble expansion rate at the source redshift. However, as Loeb (1998) pointed out, observational issues and the proper motion of the structure would make such a measurement impossible.
Integrated Sachs Wolfe Effect and Rees Sciama Effect
自R. K. Sachs和A. M. Wolfe预言了宇宙微波背景(CMB)中各向异性的存在,并且自10年前首次观测到积分萨克斯-沃尔夫效应(ISW)以来。ISW效应为我们提供了一个独特的宇宙加速膨胀的探测器。大尺度结构与CMB之间的互相关是从数据中提取ISW效应的最有前途的方法。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了ISW效应的物理学,并总结了最近的观测结果和解释。
