Abstract

We study the generalized Kompaneets equation (the kinetic equation for the photon distribution function taking into account Compton scattering by electrons) using a relativistically covariant formalism. Using the generalized Kompaneets equation, we derive an analytic expression for the Sunyaev-Zeldo...
