-------------------

Grey radiative transfer in :mod:`physicskit.astro.radiative_transfer`: the
temperature structure and limb darkening of a plane-parallel atmosphere,
in the Eddington approximation and exactly.

Looking toward the limb, the line of sight reaches optical depth one higher up, in cooler gas. Schwarzschild (1906) and Eddington (1926) explained this with the transfer equation for a plane-parallel atmosphere,">
