Scientific paper

Equations are derived quantum mechanically for the radiative transfer of polarized light and statistical equilibrium governing the formation of resonance lines in nonhydrogenic species. Redistribution due to collisions is specifically included, but magnetic fields are neglected. The formulation accounts for excited level interference and optical pumping and is applicable to solar resonance lines such as Ca II H and K and Mg II h and k.
