We have computed line profiles formed in a dusty and expanding
spherical atmosphere of the components of a close binary system.
We have considered dust scattering
optical depth as high as 5 but no absorption due to dust is included. The scattering
(isotropic) of dust increases the core emission whether the medium is
static or moving.
The condition of isotropic scattering should be
replaced by Mie scattering phase function for correct estimation of dust
scattering. Further, we need to study the formation of lines in the
distorted shapes of the components which is under study.
