Calculating The Observable Properties Of Mass Accreting Black Holes, Heather Lee

Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

My goal is to generalize Chandrasekhar’s formulas to include partial Rayleigh Scattering. In my summer research, I successfully recalculated key tables and solutions from his book and I am working in generalizing his results for use in an infinitely deep electron atmosphere. Here, I will summarize how Chandrasekhar derived his formulas and how to potentially generalize them to include absorption.
