Scientific paper

Results are presented of resonance radiative transfer calculations for a plane-parallel semi-infinite atmosphere. In the calculations, an isotropically emitting source of line photons is embedded at a certain line-center optical depth from the edge of the atmosphere. In reality, the thermalization length provides an effective physical cutoff for the optical depth of a stellar atmosphere, usually, however, with the thermalization length being much greater than line-center optical depth. The absence of any true absorber is assumed here, but an effectively finite medium is considered by introducing a perfectly reflecting mirror at a certain depth beyond the photon source.
