ContentRadiation Transfer: specific intensity, transfer equation, opacity, diffusion, scattering
The emission, absorption, and scattering of radiation by matter
Statistical mechanics of matter and radiation: LTE. level populations, rate equations
Atomic and molecular radiation: energy levels, Einstein coefficients, oscillator strengths, line broadening
Plasma radiations: bremsstrahlung (free-free emission), synchrotron emission, Compton scattering, EM wave propagations in plasmas
