Abstract
Continuum radiative transfer is a physical process that must be
taken into account in almost all astrophysical situations. Indeed,
many astrophysical objects of different natures show continuum dust
grain emission: circumstellar discs around young stellar objects,
evolved stars, active galactic nuclei. I will focus the present
discussion on (dust) continuum radiative transfer and more precisely
on the Monte Carlo approach to the solution of the problem (but not
only).
