Abstract
The effects of partial frequency redistribution are implemented in the Polarized Accelerated Lambda Iteration (PALI) method of Faurobert-Sch oll et al. (1997). The numerical scheme is an extension of the core-wi ng technique of Paletou & Auer (1995) originally developed for non-pol arized line transfer problems. Using a new code, we validate theoretic al results against those given by a Feautrier type code.
