Scientific paper

The Sobolev approximation for line-formation problems in atmospheres with high-speed flows is generalized to include the effects of continuum absorption and emission in the region of the line. The result is very simple, being expressed entirely in terms of known functions with the exception of one quantity of order unity, which is tabulated. Comparison with accurate numerical solutions for simple problems in plane-parallel geometry shows the approximation to be quite accurate in those regions of the atmosphere where the conditions for the validity of the approximation are satisfied. A three-dimensional version of the theory is given that applies to general geometries.
