Scientific paper
Several aspects of resonance line transfer in gaseous nebulae are discussed. Realistic ionization structures for blackbody and power-law continuum sources are combined with the Monte Carlo line transfer technique in order to study the line trapping and level-2 population for astrophysically important cases. The calculations are used for detailed study of problems such as the destruction of resonance lines by internal dust, the Balmer lines optical depths, and the thermalization of L-alpha. The method and details of the calculations are described. The case of dust-free nebulae is examined, along with the effect of dust and thermalization. The results are applied to active nebulae, and some examples and applications to novae and other gaseous nebulae are given in appendix.
