    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 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
