abstract
The cosmic web contains filamentary structure on a wide range of scales. On the largest scales, superclustering aligns multiple galaxy clusters along inter-cluster bridges, visible through their thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signal in the Cosmic Microwave Background. We demonstrate a new, flexible method to analyze the hot gas signal from multi-scale extended structures. We use a Compton-$y$ map from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) stacked on redMaPPer cluster positions from the optical Dark Energy Survey (DES). Cutout images from the $y$ map are oriented with large-scale structure information from DES galaxy data such that the superclustering signal is aligned before being overlaid. We find evidence for an extended quadrupole moment of the stacked $y$ signal at the 3.5$\sigma$ level, demonstrating that the large-scale thermal energy surrounding galaxy clusters is anisotropically distributed. We compare our ACT$\times$DES results with the Buzzard simulations, finding broad agreement. Using simulations, we highlight the promise of this novel technique for constraining the evolution of anisotropic, non-Gaussian structure using future combinations of microwave and optical surveys.

Bias hardened estimators of patchy screening profiles
The authors derive and validate lensing-hardened estimators for stacked patchy screening measurements, show the unmitigated lensing bias dominates the ACT x unWISE signal, and place an upper bound on the screening amplitude.

Tracing cosmic gas in filaments and halos: Low-redshift insights from the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
A 4-sigma kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich quadrupole detection shows gas around low-redshift galaxy groups is aligned with cosmic filaments, the first such kSZ measurement.

The superclustering of hot gas: cosmological sensitivity in the Websky simulations
Higher-order multipole moments of oriented tSZ stacks around superclusters retain cosmological sensitivity similar to the monopole while being less affected by gas-pressure modeling choices, which may help break the g...
