Further Information

Recent developments in the study of high-temperature plasmas in clusters of galaxies are reviewed. The Compton scattering of the permeating 2.7 K cosmic microwave background photons by high-temperature electrons of energy ∼10 keV produces a distortion in the Planck distribution of the 2.7 K cosmic microwave background photons. This effect, which has been termed the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, has been studied extensively in recent years both theoretically and observationally. We will give a review of the study on this subject.
