Description
Radiative Transfer in Stellar and Planetary Atmospheres is a definitive resource for advanced students and researchers in astrophysics. This volume presents fundamental concepts and practical applications of radiative transfer theory, essential for understanding the physics of stellar and planetary atmospheric layers.
The book covers key topics including radiation mechanisms, transfer equations, spectral line formation, and atmospheric modeling techniques. With contributions from leading experts Lucio Crivellari, Sergio Simón-Díaz, and María Jesús Arévalo, the material balances theoretical foundations with observational applications. Readers will gain insight into how radiation propagates through different atmospheric layers and influences atmospheric structure and evolution.
As part of the prestigious Canary Islands Winter School series, this work serves as both an educational text and reference guide, making it invaluable for astrophysicists studying stellar evolution, exoplanet characterization, and atmospheric diagnostics.
