PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Radiative Processes in Astrophysics

Radiative Processes in Astrophysics This clear straightforward and fundamental introduction is designed to presentfrom a physicists point of viewradiation processes and their applications to astrophysical phenomena and space science It covers such topics as radiative transfer theory relativistic covariance and kinematics bremsstrahlung radiation synchrotron radiation Compton scattering some plasma effects and radiative transitions in atoms Discussion begins with first principles physically motivating and deriving all results rather than merely presenting finished formulae However a reasonably good physics background introductory quantum mechanics intermediate electromagnetic theory special relativity and some statistical mechanics is required Much of this prerequisite material is provided by brief reviews making the book a selfcontained reference for workers in the field as well as the ideal text for senior or firstyear graduate students of astronomy astrophysics and related physics courses Radiative Processes in Astrophysics also contains about 75 problems with solutions illustrating applications of the material and methods for calculating results This important and integral section emphasizes physical intuition by presenting important results that are used throughout the main text it is here that most of the practical astrophysical applications become apparent.
