Conclusions
It can be seen from the above review that the theory of radiative transfer in moving media in its classical field of applications is a well-developed branch of theoretical astrophysics. Studies i n recent years have clarified important questions such as the asymptotic behavior of the kernel functions and the characteristic lengths of the theory. It has been established that there are two types of radiative coupling, and the influence of nonlocal radiative coupling on the formation of spectral lines and radiation pressure has been investigated. The theory now has at its disposal a large selection of asymptotic, approximate, and numerical methods for solving different applied problems.
Despite the competition from numerical methods, the overwhelming majority of calculations of emission spectra in the region of supersonic motions has been made on the basis of the escape-probability method and its generalization to the case of nonlocal radiative coupling. This is explained not only by the simplicity and economy of the method but even more by the fact that the greater accuracy of the calculations that can be achieved by using numerical methods is frequently spurious, since it certainly exceeds the accuracy of the basic assumptions. The real way to increase the reliability in the diagnosis of a radiating gas is, first, to solve simultaneously many-level problems for the group of elements whose lines are observed in the spectrum of the object. Second, where possible, one must solve simultaneously the stationary equations and the heat balance equations.
