Abstract: The contribution to the radiative transport due to collective scattering in astrophysical plasmas and a generalization of the Kompaneets equation is obtained. Both the stimulated and spontaneous scattering and the contribution of scattering on electrons and ions are taken into account and shown to be important over a broad range of frequencies ωpe
