    Radiative transfer
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking references for understanding radiative transfer physics, specifically in the context of cosmological reionization and its relation to the Stefan-Boltzmann law and blackbody radiation. Participants clarify the distinction between different types of radiative transfer, including gamma and X-ray transport versus thermal radiation concepts. The focus is on finding suitable resources that cover these topics comprehensively. Suggestions for references are encouraged to aid in grasping the complexities of radiative transfer in astrophysics. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clear educational materials on this specialized subject.

Could someone please suggest a reference from where I could read up radiative transfer physics?

Is that radiative transfer as in a star, i.e. transport of gamma and X-ray, or is that radiative transfer as in Stefan-Boltzmann and blackbody radiation?
 
well, it is something about "Cosmological reionization around the first stars" ... so i think it is the stefan-boltzmann and blackbody radiation... but i might be wrong...
please help!
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
