Profiles of the hydrogen Paß, Paγ and Brγ lines of an A0IV star γ Gem were obtained at a high resolution to investigate at what degree the hydrogen IR lines can be useful for fine tests of the NLTE model atmospheres. All three lines show a deep and narrow absorption core in a good qualitative agreement with the predictions of the available NLTE models for B stars, thus proving that the NLTE effects are important for A stars as well. New NLTE models were computed to extend the grid down to 9500 °K and to include 8 discrete levels of H atom into the energy balance. However, further theoretical work is necessary to compare the observed profiles and the theory.
