AbstractAbstract
[en] Inelastic radiation transfer in hot plasmas is reviewed. It is shown that a variety of situations can be described by combining a Kompaneets type of transfer equation with suitable photon sources. Some emphasis is put on the particular case of very magnetized plasmas (approx. 1012 G) where cyclotron resonances introduce qualitatively new effects, like non LTE resonant scattering on electrons and polarization effects. It is shown that the spectrum of magnetized X-ray sources is best understood as resonant-scattering cooling of very hot photons in a medium with negative temperature gradient. (Auth.)
