We have numerically calculated the radiative transfer in neutron-star atmospheres threaded by a uniform super-strong magnetic field ( ~ 109 T), where not only cyclotron resonant scattering, but also photon splitting, occurs. Here, the multiangle radiative transfer equations were solved for cyclotron resonant scattering, which depends strongly on the angle of photon propagation with respect to the magnetic field line. We also investigated the feature of the cyclotron lines reprocessed by the photon splitting in the atmospheres into which the power-law-type flux is injected. We have found that the cyclotron absorption lines are strongly reprocessed by photon splitting, and may not be detected at a magnetic field of about 4.41 x 109 T in the power-law-type spectra.
