Abstract: In the present work, we propose a method to build solutions to a general form of the stationary Kompaneets equation. In the nonrelativistic regime, special attention is given to cases where the solutions are expressed… read more here.

Abstract: We derive a “Kompaneets equation” for neutrinos, which describes how the distribution function of neutrinos interacting with matter deviates from a Fermi–Dirac distribution with zero chemical potential. To this end, we expand the collision integral… read more here.
