The Opacity of Spiral Disks Jonathan I. Davies

The Opacity of Spiral Disks By Jonathan I. Davies

The Opacity of Spiral Disks by Jonathan I. Davies


Summary

The theme of the study is the determination of just how much of a galaxy's stellar output is reprocessed through the interstellar medium. Many techniques are described and observations over a wide range of wavelengths are discussed.
