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.
