contents We introduce an equation learning framework to identify a closed set of equations for moment quantities in 1D thermal radiation transport (TRT) in optically thin media. While optically thick media admits a well-known diffusive closure, the utility of moment closures in providing accurate low-dimensional surrogates for TRT in optically thin media is unclear, as the mean-free path of photons is large and the radiation flux is far from its Fickean limit. Here, we demonstrate the viability of using weak-form equation learning to close the system of equations for the energy density, radiation flux, and temperature in optically thin TRT. We show that the WSINDy algorithm (Weak-form Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics), together with an advantageous change of variables and an auxiliary equation for the radiation-energy-weighted opacity, enables robust and efficient identification of closures that preserve many desired physical properties from the high fidelity system, including hyperbolicity, rotational symmetry, black-body equilibria, and linear stability of black-body equilibria, all of which manifest as library constraints or convex constraints on the closure coefficients. Crucially, the weak form enables closures to be learned from simulation data with ray effects and particle noise, which then do not appear in simulations of the resulting closed moment system. Finally, we demonstrate that our closure models can be extrapolated in the key system parameters of drive temperature $T_{in}$ and scalar opacity $γ$, and this extrapolation is to an extent quantifiable by a Knudsen-like dimensionless parameter.
