Description
The highly convergent iterative methods developed by Trujillo Bueno and
Fabiani Bendicho (1995) for radiative transfer (RT) applications are
generalized to spherical symmetry with velocity fields. These RT methods
are based on Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel (GS), and SOR iteration and they form
the basis of a new NLTE multilevel transfer code for atomic and
molecular lines. The benchmark tests carried out so far are presented
and discussed. The main aim is to develop a number of powerful RT tools
for the theoretical interpretation of molecular spectra.
