Propagation and Polarization of Radiation in Cosmic Media

Propagation and Polarization of Radiation in Cosmic Media

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This completely revised and updated version of the original Russian edition contains many results based on original papers by the authors. It will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students for its simple and clear description of the theory of propagation and polarization of cosmic radiation, and also to researchers in astronomy and astrophysics who will find formulae given in explicit analytical form useful for interpretation of observations.
This unique book offers an in-depth study of the effects of anisotrophy and nonuniformity of cosmic media on the polarization and propagation of stellar and nebular radiation. The physical processes of propagation and polarization of radiation are considered in detail, and a general theory is presented for cases of circumstellar and interstellar media and stellar atmospheres. Special attention is paid to cosmic plasma in strong magnetic fields and gaseous-dust cosmic media, as anisotrophy of such media determines many important effects of propaga
