I plan to present recent progress in modeling of X-ray illuminated
atmospheres, where radiative transfer of both:external radiation
and self radiation of affected gas, is precisely computed. Also,
I will describe wide variety of modeled spectra calculated by
our group for
different physical parameters of gas.
In models of atmosphere in hydrostatic equilibrium the equation
of transfer includes terms which represent emission of the fluorescent
Fe Ka
and Fe Kb
lines, up-scattered on free electrons by multiple Compton scattering
process. Modeled spectra exhibit distinct Compton shoulders from
red side of line recently observed by Bianchi et al. 2002, Watanabe
et al. 2003.
