Chemical Abundances from Inversions of Stellar Spectra: Analysis of Solar-Type Stars with Homogeneous and Static Model Atmospheres
Spectra of late-type stars are usually analyzed with static model atmospheres in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and a homogeneous plane-parallel or spherically symmetric geometry. The energy balance requires particular attention, as two elements that are particularly difficult to model play an important role: line blanketing and convection
