Abstract

Until now, analytic solutions for the problem of line formation in magnetic fields have been given only under special assumptions concerning either the magnetic field or the atmospheric model. Conditions are given for which the system of differential equations can be solved analytically. For the general case a method is given to solve the system in approximation and analytically. LTE is generally assumed which means that we use the system given by Unno (1956) or that given by Beckers (1969) including the Faraday rotation.
