This paper presents a brief overview of some recent advances in numerical radiative transfer, which may help the molecular astrophysics community to achieve new...
The highly convergent iterative methods developed by Trujillo Bueno and Fabiani Bendicho (1995) for radiative transfer (RT) applications are generalized to...
We study radiative transfer through a weakly polarizing medium, i.e., a medium in which the degree of polarization of the absorbed, retarded, and emitted light...
Radiative Transfer Modeling of the Enigmatic Scattering Polarization in the Solar Na I D1 Line
The modeling of the peculiar scattering polarization signals observed in some diagnostically important solar resonance lines requires the consideration of the...
We present a set of face-on models of the radiative transfer of stellar light in exponential discs, taking into account absorption and multiple scattering...
Response functions for the inversion of data from unresolved solar magnetic elements.
By adopting the thin flux tube model as representative of spatially unresolved magnetic elements in the photosphere of the Sun, we identify an adequate set of...
Revisiting the infrared spectra of active galactic nuclei with a new torus emission model
We describe improved modelling of the emission by dust in a toroidal-like structure heated by a central illuminating source within active galactic nuclei (AGNs)...
Double-peaked line profiles are commonly considered a hallmark of rotating discs, with the distance between the peaks a measure of the rotation velocity...
Scale Lengths in Disk Surface Brightness as Probes of Dust Extinction in Three Spiral Galaxies: M51, NGC 3631, and NGC 4321
We have measured the radial brightness distributions in the disks of three nearby face-on spiral galaxies, M51, NGC 3631, and NGC 4321 (M100), in the...
