Abstract

Previously obtained results for scattering of radiation in the presence of collisions are restated in a density matrix formalism which employs an irreducible-tensor description of the radiation field. This formalism is particularly useful for problems associated with radiative transfer theory. The redistribution is then extended to include the effect of a weak magnetic field. By averaging over a finite bandwidth which is on the order of the Doppler width, simplified expressions of physical significance for the scattering in the Doppler core and the Lorentz wings are obtained. Expressions are also obtained for the corresponding source function of radiative transfer theory. Subject headings: magnetic fields - polarization - radiative transfer
