An inversion technique has been developed to recover LTE one-dimensional model photospheres for late-type stars from very high resolution, high signal-to-noise...

Context. The correct modeling of the scattering polarization signals observed in several strong resonance lines requires taking partial frequency redistribution...

We present MOLPOP-CEP, a universal line transfer code that allows the exact calculation of multi-level line emission from a slab with variable physical...

Both linear and nonlinear analysis are used to gain a better understanding of the effects of multi-dimensional transfer of energy by radiation in spatially...

Energy transport by radiation is an important contribution to the energy budget in stellar atmospheric structures. In this paper, radiative relaxation of small...

The question of efficiency of radiative energy losses in spectral lines is addressed. In a semi-infinite atmosphere with constant temperature, the total...

The possibility that radiative instabilities in stellar atmospheres are driven by transfer of energy processes between stellar gas and the radiation field is...

We combine a number of powerful mathematical techniques to produce an effective method for treating multidimensional radiative transfer problems in complex...

A new iterative method for solving non-LTE multilevel radiative transfer (RT) problems in 1D, 2D or 3D geometries is presented. The scheme obtains the self...
