Rybicki G.B., Lightman A.P. Radiative processes in astrophysics

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2004, 396 pp. - ISBN-13: 978-0-471-82759-7.
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.Fundamentals of radiative transfer.
Basic theory of radiation fields.
Radiation from moving charges.
Relativistic co variance and kinematics.
Bremsstrahlung.
Synchrotron radiation.
Compton scattering.
Plasma effects.
Atomic structure.
Radiative transitions.
Molecular structure.
Solutions index.
