Interaction of a high-temperature plasma with electromagnetic radiation in a gravitational field - II. Nonrelativistic temperatures κBTe ≪ mec2

Abstract

On the basis of the theory developed by the author in the foregoing paper [1], a study is made of the interaction of a weakly relativistic plasma with electromagnetic radiation in a gravitational field. The results are applied to a plasma in a Schwarzschild field. The physical origin of negative absorption is discussed. © 1976 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
