"Radiative transfer (also called radiation transport) is the physical phenomenon of energy transfer in the form of electromagnetic radiation."
The study of the interaction of radiation with matter and the transfer of energy through a medium. Topics include the absorption, emission, and scattering of radiation by atoms, molecules, and dust grains.
Electromagnetic Radiation: The study of the electromagnetic spectrum and the different types of radiation emitting from astronomical objects.
Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy: The study of the interaction of radiation with matter and the resulting spectra.
Absorption, Emission and Scattering: The phenomena associated with the interaction between radiation and matter, including the scattering of radiation by dust particles.
Radiative Transfer Theory: The mathematical framework describing the propagation of radiation through a medium.
Line Transfer Theory: The radiative transfer of discrete spectral lines in a medium.
Continuum Transfer Theory: The radiative transfer of the continuous spectral emission from a medium.
Radiative Transfer in Stellar Atmospheres: The study of radiative processes in the atmospheres of stars, including radiation pressure and ionization.
Radiative Transfer in Interstellar Medium: The study of radiative processes in the interstellar medium, including the interaction of radiation with dust, gas and plasma.
Radiative Transfer in Planetary Atmospheres: The study of radiative processes in the atmospheres of planets and their interaction with solar radiation.
Radiative Transfer in Cosmology: The study of radiative processes in the early universe, including cosmic microwave background radiation and the formation of hydrogen and helium.
Absorption: In this type of radiative transfer, a photon is absorbed by a molecule or an atom, which results in an increase in the internal energy level of the molecule or atom.
Emission: In this type of radiative transfer, a molecule or atom emits a photon as it moves to a lower internal energy level.
Reflection: In this type of radiative transfer, a photon is reflected off the surface of a molecule or an atom, without being absorbed or emitted.
Scattering: In this type of radiative transfer, a photon is scattered off a molecule or an atom, resulting in a change of direction.
Transmission: In this type of radiative transfer, a photon passes through a material without being absorbed, emitted, reflected or scattered.
