Scientific paper

It is shown that the complicated form of the line absorption probability
function for scattering in subordinate lines, derived by McKenna (1984),
is an artifact of adopting a mathematically inconvenient expression for
the corresponding redistribution function. It is demonstrated that the
absorption probability must be given by the Voigt function.
