Abstract
Compton scattering of photons from ionised gas in galaxy clusters along the line of sight leaves an imprint in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. We investigate this process taking account of the effects of relativistic electron velocity dispersion and primordial anisotropy on the frequency spectrum of the generated polarization. We also discuss the prospects of detecting such effects with the Planck survey.
