The purpose of the discipline “Theory of Radiation Transfer” is to study mathematical methods for describing the process of radiation propagation, the processes of matter and radiation interaction, the theory of stellar photospheres and atmospheres, the theory of radiation transfer in planetary atmospheres, radiation transfer in dynamic shells, obtaining deep and systematic knowledge based on the general laws of modern physics and methods of mathematical physics, mastering the methods and principles of theoretical solution of astrophysical problems, interpreting the results of astronomical observations, and planning and performing numerical experiments.

Distance form

Successful completion of courses in theoretical physics, mathematical physics, a number of special courses, primarily astrophysics.

An idea is formed about modern methods of radiation transfer theory, processes of interaction of radiation with the stream, and features of radiation propagation in dynamic shells.

Lectures

- semester assessment: 1. Tests: 2, each – 10 points 2. Lecture work – 5 points 3. Short independent tasks – 10 points - final assessment (in the form of an exam/complex exam, differentiated credit): Credit – 65 points - conditions for admission to the final exam: at least 10 points during the semester Tests are carried out in the middle (first module) and at the end (second module) of the semester. Lecture work and short independent tasks are assessed during the semester with summarizing the results for the first and second modules.
