Abstract
A rigorous integral theory is presented for the radiative transfer in a plane-parallel medium between two emitting and reflecting surfaces in radiative equilibrium. The medium is assumed to scatter radiation anisotropically. If the scattering phase function is expanded in Legendre polynomials the single scattering albedo modifies to a form which retains the medium inhomogeneity in radiative equilibrium. Expressions are given for the forward and backward radiation intensities, the heat fluxes, and the incident radiation. The case of isotropic scattering is considered in more detail and solved explicitly by a projection technique. Numerical results are reported for cases of physical interest and compared with the available data.
