The Emission of Radiation from Model Hydrogen Chromospheres. II.

Abstract

An improved method is presented for calculating the characteristics of the radiation field of Hoc, Loc, L[3, and the Lyman continuum emitted by model hydrogen atmospheres which are isothermal at one of a number of kinetic temperatures in the range 10' to 2·5 X 10' oK. It is found that earlier estimates of the intensities of these lines need revision and improved values have been obtained.
