Abstract
A matrix transfer equation for multiple resonance scattering of radiation in a spectral line in a semiinfinite atmosphere with a uniform distribution of primary radiation sources is examined. A nonlinear matrix integral is obtained for this equation as a generalization of the Rybicki two-point Q-integral. One special case of the matrix $ {\mathbf{\hat{Q}}} $ -integral is the Volterra equation for the matrix source function of the problem discussed here. The Volterra equation is solved numerically for a Doppler profile of the absorption coefficient. Several polarization characteristics of the emerging radiation are obtained.
