1. Radiation and local thermodynamic equilibrium

1.1 Laws of thermodynamic equilibrium

In a plasma, collisions between the various species that make up the medium follow a number of equilibrium laws. These laws contribute to the intensity of the spectral lines that give the plasma its signature. In this section, we recall a number of results that can be found in a plasma physics lecture (see for example
