Simplified treatment of kinematic corrections to the SZ effect using the boost operator approach
The scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons by free electrons gives rise to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effects.
The scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons by free electrons gives rise to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effects. Random electron motions in the hot intracluster medium generate the thermal SZ (tSZ) effect, whose amplitude traces the integrated electron pressure,…
