Maintaining local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) in radiating gas with a broad atomic transition line
Definitions / Background
In LTE, Kirchoff's law for radiation holds:
$$ \frac{j_{\nu}}{\alpha_{\nu}} = B_{\nu} (T) $$
where $j_{\nu}$ is the specific radiative emissivity, $\alpha_{\nu}$ is the ...
