Photon transport is studied in an interstellar cloud occupying a time‐dependent region V ( t )⊂ℝ 3 . First, under the assumption that the surface ∂ V ( t ) is a known function of t ∈[0, t max ], a direct problem is set and proof of well‐posedness is sketched. Then, an inverse problem is examined, under the assumptions that the time behaviour of ∂ V ( t ) is unknown and the photon distribution function is measured at a location far from the cloud. Some numerical experiments are then provided. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
