Radiative Processes in Astrophysics Radiative Processes in Astrophysics This clear, straightforward, introductory astronomy and astrophysics and fundamental introduction is designed to present—from a physicist’s point of view—radiation processes introductory astronomy and astrophysics and their applications to astrophysical phenomena introductory astronomy and astrophysics and space science. It covers such topics as radiative transfer theory, relativistic covariance introductory astronomy and astrophysics and kinematics, bremsstrahlung radiation, synchrotron radiation, Compton scattering, some plasma effects, introductory astronomy and astrophysics and radiative transitions in atoms. Discussion begins with first principles, physically motivating introductory astronomy and astrophysics and deriving all results rather than merely presenting finished formulae. However, a reasonably good physics background (introductory quantum mechanics, intermediate electromagnetic theory, special relativity, introductory astronomy and astrophysics and some statistical mechanics) is required. Much of this prerequisite material is provided by brief reviews, making the book a self-contained reference for workers in the field as well as the ideal text for senior or first-year graduate students of astronomy, astrophysics, introductory astronomy and astrophysics and related physics courses. Radiative Processes in Astrophysics also contains about 75 problems, with solutions, illustrating applications of the material introductory astronomy and astrophysics and methods for calculating results. This important introductory astronomy and astrophysics 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.
