Details
"Numerical Radiative Transfer" by Wolfgang Kalkofen is a mathematics book and learning resource focused on Deep Sky & Solar System. Best for teachers, students, and readers looking for stronger mathematical understanding.
First published in 1988, this book is a manual of methods for solving problems in radiative transfer. Several of the methods, on operator perturbation as well as on polarised radiative transfer, appeared for the first time in this volume, and the sections dealing with these topics each include introductory articles. The methods described are principally directed at astrophysical plasmas, but the methods are easily adaptable to applications involving other media where self-absorption of the radiation is important. The book is primarily intended for graduate students and research workers in the field of radiative transfer.
