Spectral line intensity and polarization in gas-dusty medium
Abstract
We study the standard spectral line radiative transfer equation for media consisting of resonant atoms and non-resonant components (the dust grains and the atoms without considered spectral transition). Our goal is to study the intensity and polarization of the resonance radiation emerging from semi-infinite atmosphere. Using the known technique of resolvent matrices, we obtain the exact solution of vectorial radiative transfer equation for various sources of non-polarized radiation in semi-infinite atmosphere. Homogeneous, linear increasing and exponentially decreasing sources are considered. Recall, that homogeneous sources correspond to the isothermal atmosphere and the exponential ones correspond to the incident radiation with different angles of inclination.
