Scientific paper

An approximation to the source function in a uniform cylindrical dust cloud embedded in an isotropic incident radiation field has been used to calculate the scattered and transmitted intensities observed from the cloud. It is shown that for reasonable parameters for the dust (albedo 0.6 and asymmetry factor 0.7), the effect of scattering is to change by a small amount the dust opacity predicted on the assumption that all the observed light is transmitted or foreground emission. This result confirms the magnitudes of dust opacity calculated in a previous paper.
