Saas-Fee Lecture Notes: Physics of Lyman Alpha Radiative Transfer

Understand

Lecture notes for 8 lectures on the `Physics of Lyman alpha Radiative Transfer', given at the 46th Saas-Fee winter school held in Les Diablerets, Switzerland on March 13-19 2016.

• These lectures aimed at offering basic insights into Lyman alpha (Lya) radiative processes including emission processes and Lya radiative transfer, and highlighting some of the physics associated with these processes.
• The notes include derivations in greater detail than what was discussed during the lectures.
