Ivan Hubeny, Dimitri Mihalas

Theory of Stellar Atmospheres

An Introduction to Astrophysical Non-Equilibrium Quantitative Spectroscopic Analysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an in-depth and self-contained treatment of the latest advances achieved in quantitative spectroscopic analyses of the observable outer layers of stars and similar objects. Written by two leading researchers in the field, it presents a comprehensive account of both the physical foundations and numerical methods of such analyses. The book is ideal for astronomers who want to acquire deeper insight into the physical foundations of the theory of stellar atmospheres, or who want to learn about modern computational techniques for treating radiative transfer in non-equilibrium situations
