The Zel'dovich effect and the intergalactic dust in Galaxy clusters

Very small grains in intergalactic clusters which produce millimeter radiation (possibly through destruction of larger grains by gas-grain collisions) are observed to compensate for the decrease in temperature of the intergalactic medium expected from the Zel'dovich effect. Attention is given t...

Description
Summary:Very small grains in intergalactic clusters which produce millimeter radiation (possibly through destruction of larger grains by gas-grain collisions) are observed to compensate for the decrease in temperature of the intergalactic medium expected from the Zel'dovich effect. Attention is given to thermal emission from spinning charged grains, which is regarded as a mechanism for elevating the intercluster temperature.
