What does SED stand for?

Krugel (Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy) gives students and professionals a solid background in working with the concepts and practicalities of space dust, including considering the dielectric permeability, evaluating grain cross sections, dealing with very small and very big particles, using case studies of Mie calculus, determining the structure and composition of dust, calculating dust radiation, placing the behavior of dust within its environmental contexts, determining polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and spectral features, studying reddening and dust models and radiative transport, and recording spectral energy distribution of dusty objects.

This combines with the ever-changing solar spectrum to produce dynamically variable spectral energy distributions that ultimately enter a building and contribute to its thermal load.

00 Hardcover AIP conference proceedings; 761 QB858 In these proceedings from the October 2004 conference, participants cover topics including the growing number of alternative techniques and models for the quantitative analysis of spectral energy distribution appearing in the literature.
