Non-LTE Line Formation in the Near-IR: Hot Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 November 2010
Abstract
Line-formation calculations in the Rayleigh-Jeans tail of the spectral energy distribution are complicated by an amplification of non-LTE effects. For hot stars this can make quantitative modelling of spectral lines in the near-IR challenging. An introduction to the modelling problems is given and several examples in the context of near-IR line formation for hydrogen and helium are discussed.
