A method for the fast and accurate solution of the radiative transfer equation in plane-parallel media with coherent isotropic scattering is presented. This largely analytical approach uses the formalism of meromorphic functions in order to…
The radiative transfer equation (RTE) is a cornerstone for describing the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a medium, with applications spanning atmospheric science, astrophysics, remote sensing, and biomedical optics. Despite its…
A novel method for solving the linear radiative transport equation (RTE) in a three-dimensional homogeneous medium is proposed and illustrated with numerical examples. The method can be used with an arbitrary phase function A(s,s') with the…
A new code for evaluation of light absorption and scattering by interstellar dust grains is presented. The radiative transfer problem is solved using ray-tracing algorithm in a self-consistent and highly efficient way. The code demonstrates…
We solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) in anisotropically scattering media as an infinite series. Each series term represents a distinct number of scattering events, with analytical solutions derived for zero and single scattering.…
In this work, we prove rigorous error estimates for a hybrid method introduced in [15] for solving the time-dependent radiation transport equation (RTE). The method relies on a splitting of the kinetic distribution function for the…
This work is concerned with the numerical simulation of plasma arc interaction with aerospace substrates under conditions akin to lightning strike and in particular with the accurate calculation of radiative heat losses. These are important…
We develop a new numerical scheme for solving the radiative transfer equation in a spherically symmetric system. This scheme does not rely on any kind of diffusion approximation and it is accurate for optically thin, thick, and intermediate…
Solving the continuum radiative transfer equation in high opacity media requires sophisticated numerical tools. In order to test the reliability of such tools, we present a benchmark of radiative transfer codes in a 2D disc configuration.…
We present a program suite for the radiative transfer problem solution in axi-symmetrical dusty galaxy disks, intended primarily for spectrophotometric analysis of stellar populations by means of integrated and differential photometry. The…
In highly diffusion regimes when the mean free path $\varepsilon$ tends to zero, the radiative transfer equation has an asymptotic behavior which is governed by a diffusion equation and the corresponding boundary condition. Generally, a…
The atmospheres of planets (including Earth) and the outer layers of stars have often been treated in radiative transfer as plane-parallel media, instead of spherical shells, which can lead to inaccuracy, e.g. limb darkening. We give an…
We investigate the influence of scattering and geometry on the attenuation curve in disc galaxies. We investigate both qualitatively and quantitatively which errors are made by either neglecting or approximating scattering, and which…
The illumination of an accretion disk around a black hole or neutron star by the central compact object or the disk itself often determines its spectrum, stability, and dynamics. The transport of radiation within the disk is in general a…
A discrete spherical harmonics method is developed for the radiative transfer problem in inhomogeneous polarized planar atmosphere illuminated at the top by a collimated sunlight while the bottom reflects the radiation. The method expands…
The dust in galaxies makes radiation transport calculations in them absolutely necessary. It is not only common practice in Astrophysics, but also wisdom, to try to make as simple models as possible to simulate physical systems. For spiral…
We compare four different methods to calculate radiative transfer through a magnetized stellar atmosphere, and apply them to the case of magnetic white dwarfs. All methods are numerically stable enough to allow determination of the magnetic…
Optical/UV photons and even harder radiation components in galaxies are absorbed and scattered by dust and re-emitted at infrared wavelengths. For a better understanding of the obscured regions of the galaxies detailed models of the…
We present an accurate quadrature formula on the sphere with less localized quadrature points for efficient numerical computation of the radiative transport equation (RTE) in the three dimensions. High accuracy of the present method…
We present benchmark problems and solutions for the continuum radiative transfer (RT) in a 2D disk configuration. The reliability of three Monte-Carlo and two grid-based codes is tested by comparing their results for a set of well-defined…
