Description

This comprehensive Springer reference explores light scattering and absorption by small particles fundamental to astrophysics. The book provides exact solutions for spheres and infinite cylinders, the two idealised cases that serve as benchmarks for understanding particle interactions across cosmic environments. For homogeneous particles of irregular shapes, the text demonstrates how rotational averaging produces results closely approximated by these standard geometries, whilst inhomogeneous particles exhibit effects similar to homogeneous particles with equivalent average refractive indices. By establishing these foundational principles, the Theory of Cosmic Grains enables researchers and students to solve most practical astrophysical problems through reference to the exact mathematical solutions presented throughout the text.

Key Features

The Theory of Cosmic Grains provides exact mathematical solutions for light scattering by spheres and infinite cylinders, serving as fundamental reference cases for particle physics.

Covers both homogeneous and inhomogeneous particle types, showing how irregular shapes and varying internal structures affect light absorption and scattering behaviour.

Part of the respected Astrophysics and Space Science Library series (volume 168), offering peer-reviewed scientific content for advanced study.

Enables approximation of complex particle interactions through rotational averaging principles, allowing researchers to solve practical astrophysical problems efficiently.

Springer publication ensures rigorous academic standards and comprehensive mathematical treatment suitable for graduate-level astrophysics and space science research.
