Abstract: | We have investigated the effects of Compton broadening due to electron scattering in the hot stellar atmosphere, quasars, AGN's etc. We considered a purely electron scattering media. The Compton effect scattering function produces the redshift and asymmetry in the line. These two effects increase as the optical depth increases. For an optical depth of 100, the emergent specific intensities become completely asymmetric in a given direction. |
