Description
Papers on stellar spectral line formation theory are presented. The general topics considered include: frequency redistribution problems in line formation theory, methods in line radiative transfer, and observational and theoretical aspects of spectral line formation in astrophysical and laboratory environments. Some individual subjects discussed include: kinetic aspects of redistribution in spectral lines, computational methods in redistribution functions, numerical methods in radiative transfer, partial versus complete linearization, line formation in laboratory plasmas, observational problems in spectral line formation, line transfer in expanding atmospheres, partial redistribution in the wind of red giants, transfer of Lyman-alpha radiation in solar coronal loops, pressure broadening and the solar limb effect, and line formation in molecular clouds.
