Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | Summary:The "Reduced Speed of Light" (RSL) approximation is commonly used to speed up radiative transfer calculations in cosmological simulations. However, it has been shown previously that the RSL approximation leads to photon non-conservation when the radiation field is rapidly evolving in time. I show that these missing photons can be […]
