Article: Study findings from J. Chluba et al provide new insights into astrophysics.(Report)

"In this paper we consider the effects of resonance and electron scattering on the escape of Lyman a photons during cosmological hydrogen recombination. We pay particular attention to the influence of atomic recoil, Doppler boosting, and Doppler broadening using a Fokker-Planck approximation of the redistribution function describing the scattering of photons on the Lyman a resonance of moving hydrogen atoms," scientists writing in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics report.

"We extend the computations of our recent paper on the influence of the 3d/3s-1s two-photon channels on the dynamics of hydrogen recombination, simultaneously including the full time ...
