  Quantization of electrodynamics in curved space-time in the Lorenz gauge and
with arbitrary gauge parameter makes it necessary to study Green functions of
non-minimal operators with variable coefficients. Starting from the integral
representation of photon Green functions, we link them to the evaluation of
integrals involving Gamma functions. Eventually, the full asymptotic expansion
of the Feynman photon Green function at small values of the world function, as
well as its explicit dependence on the gauge parameter, are obtained without
adding by hand a mass term to the Faddeev--Popov Lagrangian. Coincidence limits
of second covariant derivatives of the associated Hadamard function are also
evaluated, as a first step towards the energy-momentum tensor in the
non-minimal case.
