SMART - a computer program for modelling stellar atmospheres
Program SMART (Spectra and Model Atmospheres by Radiative Transfer) has been
composed for modelling atmospheres and spectra of hot stars (O, B and A
spectral classes) and studying various physical processes in them.
Line-blanketed models are iteratively computed assuming plane-parallel,
static and horizontally homogeneous atmosphere in radiative, hydrostatic and
local thermodynamic equilibrium. SMART have been used to compute diffusive
separation of elements and isotopes in CP stars; spectral limb darkening and
hence the spectra of rotating stars and non-irradiated eclipsing binaries;
relaxational formation of NLTE; etc.
