This book grew out of a course of the same title which each of us taught for several years in the Harvard astronomy department. We felt a need for a book on the subject of radiative processes emphasizing the physics rather than simply giving a collection of formulas.
Contents
Chapter 1 - Fundamentals of radiative transfer.
Chapter 2 - Basic theory of radiation fields.
Chapter 3 - Radiation from moving charges.
Chapter 4 - Relativistic co variance and kinematics.
Chapter 5 – Bremsstrahlung.
Chapter 6 - Synchrotron radiation.
Chapter 7 - Compton scattering.
Chapter 8 - Plasma effects.
Chapter 9 - Atomic structure.
Chapter 10 - Radiative transitions.
Chapter 11 - Molecular structure.
Solutions index.
