Detailed Non‐LTE Model Atmospheres for Novae during Outburst. I. New Theoretical Results
We present new, detailed non-LTE (NLTE) calculations for model atmospheres of novae during outburst. This fully self-consistent NLTE treatment for a number of model atoms includes 3922 NLTE levels and 47,061 NLTE primary transitions. We discuss the implication of departures from LTE for the strengths of the lines in nova …
