  ** Show that if stimulated emission is neglected, so that there are only two Einstein coefficients left in the transfer  equation. An appropriate relation between the Einstein coefficients will be consistent with the Thermal equilibrium  between the atom and the radiation field of a Wien spectrum, not a Planck spectrum.

  • Short Questions
*Show that if stimulated emission is neglected, so that there are only two Einstein coefficients left in the transfer  equation. An appropriate relation between the Einstein coefficients will be consistent with the Thermal equilibrium  between the atom and the radiation field of a Wien spectrum, not a Planck spectrum.
    • The strength of CO lines in the IR increases in metal poor objects. This seems contradictory. Can you explain this.
  • Describe the continuum processes in the stellar atmospheres which are relevant for the Sun. Compare the effects for a star with the same effective temperature but with a metalicity of 1/1000 solar.
  • There is a plasma stream falling on to a White Dwarf (WD) of 0.5 M_solar and R = 8000 Km. The energy of the infalling matter is absorbed onto an area of 1% of the total WD surface. The mass transfer is 109Msolar/year The energy of the mass is absorbed in the region of 1m deep into the surface. This region is heated by the plasma and is optically thin. The density of this area is: ρ=102
