The reflection of the X-rays emitted by a compact source from the atmosphere of a normal star is considered. An equation that describes Compton scattering by electrons is derived. Analytic expressions are obtained for the differential, integrated, and spherical albedos, and also for the spectrum of the reflected radiation. The influence of the corona of the normal star on the spectrum of the reflected radiation is investigated.

Abstract
The reflection of the X-rays emitted by a compact source from the atmosphere of a normal star is considered. An equation that describes Compton scattering by electrons is derived. Analytic expressions are obtained for the differential, integrated, and spherical albedos, and also for the spectrum of the reflected radiation. The influence of the corona of the normal star on the spectrum of the reflected radiation is investigated.File in questo prodotto:
