- Photons being blueshifted when crossing voids due to Rees-Sciama effect...?
I was reading this paper (https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/288/2/387/960778) where they analysed how CMB radiation is affected by evolving voids in an expanding spacetime (particularly through the Rees-Sciama effect and the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect).
This effect predicts that photons crossing well potentials would be blueshifted and the ones crossing voids would be redshifted. However, in this paper (and some others: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0612347, https://pure.port.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/6034571/Alvise_Raccanelli_Thesis.pdf) the authors indicate that there can be a partial cancellation of the redshift of photons crossing the voids (or said in another way, that growing voids can blueshift photons).
My question is:
Can there be cases where the photons crossing the voids have a total net blueshift as they get out of them?
