Studies in Non-Gray Stellar Atmospheres. I. a Basic Computer Program.
Abstract
This paper describes the logical and mathematical basis of a versatile computer program for non-gray stellar atmospheres. The program uses the Krook-Avrett iteration procedure to correct an initial temperature distribution, achieving a flux constancy of a few tenths per cent. This procedure is compared with three less efficient correction methods.
