dc.description.abstractAngle-dependent partial frequency redistribution (PRD) matrices represent the physical redistribution in the process of light scattering on atoms. For the purpose of numerical simplicity, it is a common practice in astrophysical literature to use the angle-averaged versions of these matrices, in the line transfer computations. The aim of this paper is to study the combined effects of angle-dependent PRD and the quantum interference phenomena arising either between the fine structure (J) states of a two-term atom or between the hyperfine structure (F) states of a two-level atom. We restrict our attention to the case of non-magnetic and collisionless line scattering on atoms. A rapid method of solution based on Neumann series expansion is developed to solve the angle-dependent PRD problem including quantum interference in an atomic system. We discuss the differences that occur in the Stokes profiles when angle-dependent PRD mechanism is taken into account.en
