Statistical Equilibrium Model Atmospheres for Early-Type Stars.IV. Remarks on Observational Tests
Abstract
A comparison is made between LTE and non-LTE models and observation following the approach of Strom and Kalkofen. It is found that near the main sequence the two sets of models are nearly indis- tinguishable but that large effects exist at lower gravities. The importance of very accurate values for the absolute-energy calibration of stars is emphasized
