Scientific paper

A numerical technique is presented for estimating the effect of Compton scattering, free-free absorption, emission line and photoelectric absorption on the radiation energy spectrum from a hot plasma of moderate optical thickness. The numerical method described by Chang and Cooper (1970) provides the basis for the technique; the radiative transfer effects are computed through use of the Compton Fokker-Planck equations with free-free absorption. The free-free radiation spectra are compared with X-ray spectra from spherical and shell-form hot plasmas. By applying the numerical technique to the case of X-ray line emission from Sco X-1, the spectrum deformation induced by Compton scattering may be taken into account.
