Key Equations

$$\frac{dN}{d(\ln r)} = \frac{N_0}{\sqrt{2\pi}\,\ln\sigma_g} \exp\!\left(-\frac{\ln^2(r/r_g)}{2\ln^2\sigma_g}\right)$$
$$Q_{\text{sca}} = \frac{2}{x^2}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(2n+1)(|a_n|^2 + |b_n|^2)$$
$$\tau(\lambda) = \tau_0 \left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda_0}\right)^{-\alpha} \qquad \alpha = -\frac{\ln[\tau(\lambda_1)/\tau(\lambda_2)]}{\ln(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)}$$
$$\Delta F \approx -\frac{S_0}{4}\,T_{\text{atm}}^2\,\left[2(1-a_s)^2\,\beta\,\omega_0\,\tau - 4\,a_s\,(1-\omega_0)\,\tau\right]$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
