forward scattering

It is caused by forward scattering of sunlight from relatively large suspended particles in the lower atmosphere.

Both phenomena result from diffraction and forward scattering of light by individual cloud droplets.

The coherent forward scattering is analogous to the electromagnetic process leading to the refractive index of light in a medium.

Inelastic forward scattering gives rise to the refractive index, which for X-rays is only slightly below 1.

In these observations, its coma was substantially smaller than the Sun in volume, but the forward scattering of light made the comet appear significantly brighter.

This scattering is called "'forward scattering"'.

Recent theoretical speculations about parity violating effects in the forward scattering of massless and massive particles are reviewed at an elementary level.

Because it disintegrated, SOHO failed to detect the forward scattering of light in late September.

However, predicting the brightness of a comet is difficult, especially one that passes so close to the Sun and is affected by the forward scattering of light.

During perihelion the comet had a minimum solar elongation of 6.4 and as a result of forward scattering reached a peak brightness of -3.

According to the optical theorem, the imaginary part of a probability amplitude Im(M) of a 2-body forward scattering is related to the total cross section, up to some numerical factors.

Venus exhibits a brightness surge near phase angle 170 , when it is a thin crescent, due to forward scattering of sunlight by droplets of sulfuric acid that are above the planet's cloud tops.

The presence of electrons in matter changes the energy levels of the propagation eigenstates (mass eigenstates) of neutrinos due to charged current coherent forward scattering of the electron neutrinos (i.e., weak interactions).

Between August 1 and August 12 of 2011, NASA repeatedly rolled the STEREO-B spacecraft to view the forward scattering of light as the spacecraft, comet, and Sun aligned.

C/2002 V1 (NEAT) appeared impressive as viewed by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) as a result of the forward scattering of light off of the dust in the coma and tail.
