Multi-Frequency Study of the SZ Effect in Cosmic Structures

The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) is a relevant probe for cosmology and astrophysics. A multi-frequency approach to study the SZE in cosmic structures turns out to be crucial in the use of this probe for astrophysics and cosmology. Astrophysical and cosmological applications to galaxy clusters, galaxies, radiogalaxies and large-scale structures are discussed. Future directions for the study of the SZE and its polarization are finally outlined

Personal Conclusions

I present here some personal considerations on the main theoretical, observational and technological challenges offered to the discussion during the Meeting "Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources"
