Reflection and Transmission of Polarized Light: The Adding Method for Homogeneous Atmospheres
A mathematical justification ls given for the multiple interface reflection expansion arising when using the adding method for solving numerically the equation of transfer of polarized light in a homogeneous atmosphere. The ratio of convergence is investigated analytically as a function of the optical thicknesses of the layers. The proof is based on manipulations with the positivity properties ...
متن کاملParallelization of an Algorithm for computing the Eigenelements of an Astrophysics Model
The integral formulation of the transfer problem that represents the restriction of a strongly coupled system of nonlinear equations dealing with radiative transfer in stellar atmospheres is our test problem. Computational approaches in open source packages that consider parallel implementations, to solve the spectral problem is considered.
متن کاملReflected Light from Three Dimensional Exoplanetary Atmospheres and Simulation of HD 209458b
We present radiation transfer models that demonstrate that reflected light levels from three dimensional (3D) exoplanetary atmospheres can be more than 50% lower than those predicted by models of homogeneous or smooth atmospheres. Compared to smooth models, 3D atmospheres enable starlight to penetrate to larger depths resulting in a decreased probability for the photons to scatter back out of t...
متن کاملRESEARCH and TEACHING
My research centers on theoretical study of compact objects (neutron stars and black holes, pulsars), radiative processes (radiative transfer, stellar atmospheres, effects of strong magnetic fields), astrophysical fluid dynamics and MHD (accretion disks, density waves, binaries, stellar oscillations, gravitational collapse), gravitational waves, atomic physics and condensed matter in astrophysi...
متن کاملRayleigh Scattering in Planetary Atmospheres: Corrected Tables through Accurate Computation of X and Y Functions
Tables that have been used as a reference for nearly 50 years for the intensity and polarization of reflected and transmitted light in Rayleigh scattering atmospheres have been found to be inaccurate, even to four decimal places. We convert the integral equations describing the X and Y functions into a pair of coupled integrodifferential equations that can be efficiently solved numerically. Spe...
