Green’s functions for polarized radiative transfer equation in different geometries
J.Freimanis

Abstract

AGB stars, post-AGB objects and young planetary nebulae often have shells of complex morphology and nontrivial geometry. Radiation coming from these objects occurs to be highly polarized. Green’s functions for vector radiative transfer equation in homogeneous isotropic infinite medium in case of plane-parallel, spherically symmetric and cylindrically symmetric problems are reviewed in this contribution. One and the same set of basis functions involved into different integral representations is used to construct the solution of RTE in all the geometries mentioned.
