Abstract
We investigate the energy loss by spectral line radiation assuming par tial redistribution PRD in atmospheres permeated by acoustic shock wav es. It is found that with PRD the emission is much reduced and much mo re concentrated in a narrow region behind the shocks compared to cases which assume complete redistribution CRD. A fast method to approximat e the radiation losses for time-dependent calculations is proposed.
