Scientific paper

The ways in which Compton scattering on free electrons influences the continuous spectrum and temperature structure of a hot stellar atmosphere, where most of its radiation is emitted in the 1-10 keV energy range, are discussed. The numerical results pertain to the continuum spectra of X-ray bursters. The formulation and development of the numerical code, which reproduces angle-averaged relativistic Compton scattering of thermal (unpolarized) X-rays in a plane-parallel atmosphere in hydrostatic and radiative equilibrium, are described.
