Scientific paper

It is shown that the formulation given by Mihalas (1978) of the stimulated emission term in partial redistribution calculations is incorrect. It is noted that in the solar and stellar computations presented thus far in the literature this error is of no importance because the stimulated emission terms were negligible. However, for computations for lines in which h-nu/kT is not large compared with unity, the error could have serious consequences and the correct formulation should therefore be used. To this end, corrected, albeit approximate, equations are given for the various cases of interest.
