POLARIZED PARTIAL FREQUENCY REDISTRIBUTION IN SUBORDINATE LINES. II. SOLUTION OF THE TRANSFER EQUATION WITH RAYLEIGH SCATTERING

It is quite common in line formation theory to treat scattering in subordinate lines under the assumption of complete frequency redistribution (CRD). The partial frequency redistribution (PRD) in subordinate lines cannot always be approximated by CRD, especially when the polarization state of the li...
