Problems in the Formation of Neutral Helium Lines in Early Type Stars
Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate certain assumptions that have been made in calculating line profiles and equivalent widths of neutral helium lines in early type stars. The effect of electron scattering on the continuum flux is investigated and a curve of growth analysis carried out to study this effect. The theories involved in calculating the line absorption coefficient are also investigated.
