Sunyaev-Zeldovich Contributions from Early Supernova Winds

The purpose of this research was to determine the contributions to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect from supernova winds at high redshift. In order to accomplish this, the shells were modeled individually to study the dependance of their behavior on the basic input parameters of the system, such as initial redshift and initial dark matter halo mass, especially at asymptotic bounds. Finally, the Compton y-parameter of the supernova winds can be found using the modeled results for the amount of energy lost via Compton cooling relative to the total amount of energy input by all the supernovae. The final calculation for the y-parameter is still in progress, but the model behaves reasonably for modifications in parameters.
