TL;DR: In this paper, a method for calculating the surface brightness distribution on a plane-parallel reflection nebula of uniform density illuminated by a star located either in front of, behind, or arbitrarily inside the scattering medium is proposed.
Abstract: A method for calculating the surface brightness distribution on a plane-parallel reflection nebula of uniform density illuminated by a star located either in front of, behind, or arbitrarily inside the scattering medium is proposed. The Monte Carlo technique is used to find solutions to the radiative transfer problem. The scattering properties of the nebular particles are parameterized by the albedo for single scattering and a three-parameter analytic phase function. Calculations are then presented for the surface brightness distribution across the face of such nebulae with (1) a foreground star and (2) immersed stars. The calculations include the full effects of multiple scattering, are independent of a particular assumed grain material or size distribution, and are applicable to any wavelength region for which observations can be obtained.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A review of light scattering applications in the field of particle characterization can be found in this paper, where the authors address static light scattering (the measurement of scattering intensities due to light-particle interaction at various spatial locations), dynamic light scattering, and scattering tracking analysis (the tracking of particle movement through scattering measurement).
