Scientific paper

In the solar corona the opacities of some of the prominent X-ray emission lines are on the order of tau of about I over typical coronal path lengths. A particular solution of the radiative transfer problem involving an extended, spherically symmetric coronal shell radiating isotropic, homogeneous emission in which single-scattering also takes place is presented and discussed. Within the context of this simplified model, it is found that scattered radiation is an important contribution to the total emergent resonance line flux and that for the He-like family of resonance (r), intercombination (i), and forbidden (f) lines, the ratio G = (f + i)/r would decrease as a function of optical depth for disk-center emission in an extended spherically symmetric corona.
