Extract

I am reporting here work done recently by the astrophysics group at the University of Queensland (notably G. D. Finn and R. L. Young). We are interested in the detailed formation of the profiles of the sodium-D solar absorption lines. These lines are very strong with extended wings and the object of the exercise is to determine how closely, under the physical conditions assumed to exist in the solar atmosphere, we can theoretically reproduce the detailed line profile which is observed.
