Chapter 1Introduction

Lewkow, Nicholas R.

Pages: 1 –3

[There has been great progress over the last several years in remote observation of astrophysical environments, both with Earth and spaced based telescopes, as well interplanetary satellites and rovers. The data obtained both remotely and in situ from these sources has allowed for a much greater...

Chapter 2Particle Scattering in Astrophysical Environments

Lewkow, Nicholas R.

Pages: 5 –83

[Theoretical details behind the computation of accurate quantum mechanical cross sections are presented in this chapter. Partial wave scattering is discussed in detail with emphasis on collisions involving common astrophysical gases including hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Details involving the...

Chapter 3X-Ray Scattering by Nanoparticles

Lewkow, Nicholas R.

Pages: 85 –103

[Scattering cross sections for X-rays interacting with nanoparticles consisting of silicon, carbon, and ice were calculated using the classical Mie model which produces the exact solutions the Maxwell’s equations for radiation interacting with homogeneous spheres. Both differential and total...

Chapter 4Conclusions

Lewkow, Nicholas R.

Pages: 105 –106

[Scattering of particles and radiation are important processes for determining energy relaxation, thermalization, and steady state solutions for several astrophysical systems. The work contained in this thesis investigates the scattering of common astrophysical atoms and molecules using both ab...
