We present a Monte Carlo collisional scheme that models single Compton scattering between leptons and photons in particle-in-cell codes. The numerical implementation of Compton scattering can deal with macro-particles of different weights…
Hot accretion flows such as advection-dominated accretion flows are generally optically thin in the radial direction. Thus photons generated at some radii can cool or heat electrons at other radii via Compton scattering. Such global Compton…
We developed a Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate incoherent Thomson scattering spectra in high temperature plasmas. The basic idea is to treat the entire scattering process as the superposition of individual photon-electron…
We develop a Monte Carlo Comptonization model for the X-ray spectrum of accretion-powered pulsars. Simple, spherical, thermal Comptonization models give harder spectra for higher optical depth, while the observational data from Vela X-1…
We have obtained new solutions and methods for the process of thermal Comptonization. We modify the solution to the kinetic equation of Sunyaev \& Titarchuk to allow its application up to mildly relativistic electron temperatures and…
The problem under consideration is to determine the change of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectral shape due to the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We numerically model the spectral intensity of the CMB radiation Comptonized by…
Quantitative photoacoustic tomography aims at estimating optical parameters from photoacoustic images that are formed utilizing the photoacoustic effect caused by the absorption of an externally introduced light pulse. This optical…
Radiative processes such as synchrotron radiation and Compton scattering play an important role in astrophysics. Radiative processes are fundamentally stochastic in nature, and the best tools currently used for resolving these processes…
In earlier works, it was shown that the energy dependent soft time lags observed in kHz QPOs of neutron star low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) can be explained as being due to Comptonization lags provided a significant fraction ($\eta \sim…
In this Thesis, we describe the development of a three-dimensional radiative transfer code using Monte Carlo technique and its application to various astrophysical problems. This code is capable of simulating the radiation spectra coming…
Quasi-monochromatic, high energy and highly polarized $\gamma$-ray beam sources based on Compton scattering of laser photons (LCS) on relativistic electrons have developed for the last few decades as established instruments for nuclear…
Comptonization is a very important phenomenon in astrophysics. Kompaneets equation describes up-Comptonization process in nonrelativistic astrophysics, while it fails for down-Comptonization Scattering which is the most important radiative…
Several models for the Monte Carlo simulation of Compton scattering on electrons are quantitatively evaluated with respect to a large collection of experimental data retrieved from the literature. Some of these models are currently…
We present a Monte Carlo simulation for the scattering of light in the case of an isotropic light source. The scattering phase functions are studied particularly in detail to understand how they can affect the multiple light scattering in…
We propose a method of simulation that is based on the averaging of formal solutions of the transfer equation by taking the integral by the Monte Carlo method. This method is used to compute two models, which correspond to the limiting…
Here we present the derivation, description and results of a Monte Carlo-based algorithm for simulating inelastic scattering of photo-electrons when passing through some scattering medium, such as a gas atmosphere or a solid material. The…
Radiative transfer describes the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through an interacting medium. This process is often simulated by the use of the Monte Carlo method, which involves the probabilistic determination and tracking of…
In this work, we develop a novel Monte Carlo method for solving the electromagnetic scattering problem. The method is based on a formal solution of the scattering problem as a modified Born series whose coefficients are found by a conformal…
We study the spectra of photospheric emission from highly relativistic gamma-ray burst outflows using a Monte Carlo (MC) code. We consider the Comptonization of photons with a fast cooled synchrotron spectrum in a relativistic jet with…
We develop a Monte-Carlo code to compute the Compton scattered X-ray flux arising from a hot inner flow which undergoes Lense-Thirring precession. The hot flow intercepts seed photons from an outer truncated thin disk. A fraction of the…
