Abstract

With the increasing quality of asteroseismic observations it is important to minimize the random and systematic errors in mode parameter estimates. To this end it is important to understand how the oscillations relate to the directly observed quantities, such as intensities and spectra, and to derived quantities, such as Doppler velocity. Here I list some of the effects we need to take into account and show an example of the impact of some of them.
