Simplified treatment of kinematic corrections to the SZ effect using the boost operator approach
Alex Hoey, Jacob Long, Jens Chluba
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effects provide a potent cosmological probe of the large-scale structure in the universe. Here, we present a simplified derivation of the kinematic corre…

Derivation of the Kompaneets equation using the boost operator approach
Alex Hoey, Jacob Long, Jens Chluba
The repeated scattering of photons by thermal electrons at low temperatures is described by the Kompaneets equation and its generalized forms that include anisotropies and higher o…
