Δχ^2 map [χ^2(μ)-χ^2(y)]

The Δχ^2 map can be used to create masks for masking SZ signal. Positive values signify SZ signal.

This accompanying uses the y-map from arXiv:1505.00778 and results from the second Planck catalog together with the SPT cluster catalog to place upper and lower limits on the average y-distortion monopole.
