Spherical Harmonics for the 1D Radiative Transfer Equation. II. Thermal Emission

Approximate methods for radiative transfer equations that are fast, reliable, and accurate are essential for the understanding of atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs. The simplest and most popular choice is the “two-stream method,” which is often used to produce simple yet effective models fo...
