Brief Outline
Radiative transfer effects
- Motivation
- Detailed treatment generally ignored in global modeling (e.g., in XSTAR, Cloudy, etc.)
- How do they affect the global emergent spectrum?
Theory of resonance line scattering
- Line production/destruction mechanisms
Line overlap and the Bowen fluorescence mechanism
- He II / O III in the UV (classical Bowen fluorescence)
- O VIII / N VII in the X-ray
Simple spectral model
