Contribution
It provides the first interferometric simulations of galaxy clusters with the ALMA Band 1 system, outlining observational requirements and benefits.
Findings
Simulations demonstrate ALMA Band 1's capability to detect intracluster substructure.
Estimated integration times for effective detection are provided.
Advantages over current SZ survey instruments are discussed.
Abstract
We present the first full interferometric simulations of galaxy clusters containing radio plasma bubbles as observed by the proposed band 1 receiver system for the ALMA telescope. We discuss the observational requirements for detecting intracluster substructure directly from the SZ signal, including integration time estimates, and the advantages of these observations over those made with the current generation of SZ survey instruments.
