Figure 1: A comparison between our analytical description of the RS signal generated in a major merger ( left panel) and a numerical simulation ( right panel). The analytical model represents the same merger of the numerical simulation. |

Figure 2: Two simple examples where the signal and a contaminant of known spatial pattern both have Gaussian profiles with the same width. In the upper panel, both signal and noise are positive (solid line). In the bottom panel the signal is positive and the contaminant is negative. |

Figure 3: Example taken from our mock catalogue, showing the spatial distribution of the RS signal ( top left), the kSZ effect ( top right), the anisotropy introduced by the lensing effect ( bottom left), and our filter ( bottom right). The temperature amplitudes of these panels along the line containing the haloes are displayed in Fig. 4. |

Figure 4: Comparison between the filter profile and the different components under consideration (see Fig. 3). The top left panel shows the de-lensed RS effect superimposed on the filter. The top right panel displays the kSZ effect and the filter, whereas the bottom left one shows how the de-lensing procedure acts on the kSZ effect. The bottom right panel compares our filter (new filter) with the filter originally proposed by Haennelt & Tegmark (1996, H&T 1996). |
