Volume 2 Review Questions and Problem Sets  

Volume 2 treats the theory and analysis of absorption lines, including the physics of atomic transitions, gas and ionization physics, the cosmological model, radiative transfer, spectrograph design, analysis of spectra, and multi-component, multiphase chemical-ionization modeling. Pragmatic approaches to conducting and assessing absorber counts in large absorption line surveys is presented. Throughout, objective analysis methods are emphasized and presented for clarity of practical application.
