Radiative transfer of resonance-line emission in an infinite homogeneous medium undergoing isotropic expansion with a constant velocity gradient of much less than unity is analyzed. It is assumed that the single-scattering albedo is equal to unity and that scattering occurs with complete frequency redistribution in the comoving frame for Doppler and power-law absorption-factor profiles. The asymptotic behavior of the resolvent function is examined for the two absorption-factor profiles; the solution of the basic integral equation is expressed in terms of this resolvent function. Asymptotic solutions to the basic equation are obtained for certain special primary-source distributions, including a spherically symmetric exponential distribution, a uniform distribution within a sphere of finite radius, and an isotropic point source.
