The interplay between dust and radiation (2024)
Book Chapter
Richings, A. (2024). The interplay between dust and radiation. In S. Bovino, & T. Grassi (Eds.), Astrochemical Modeling: Practical Aspects of Microphysics in Numerical Simulations (157-188). Amsterdam: Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-32-391746-9.00015-8

The attenuation of radiation due to dust depends on the composition and optical properties of the dust grains. This is fundamental to determine the impact of radiation on chemical evolution. In this chapter we discuss how we can compute grain propert... Read More about The interplay between dust and radiation.
