An eigenfunction method for the comptonisation problem. Angular distribution and spectral index of radiation from a disk
U. D. J. Gieseler, J. G. Kirk
We present a semi-analytic approach to solving the Boltzmann equation describing the comptonisation of low frequency input photons by a thermal distribution of electrons in the Tho…
