Model Atmospheres for Cool Stars

Model atmospheres (temperature, pressure, density, etc.) in the range 5000 ��K> eff > 2000��K and 4.0 > log g > -2.0 are tabulated, along with emergent energy flux distributions, limb darkening, and information on convection for selected models. The models are calculated under the usual assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium, constancy of total energy flux (including transport both by radiation and convection) and local thermodynamic equilibrium.

Some molecular and atomic line opacity is accounted for as a straight mean. While cool-star atmospheres are regimes of complicated physical conditions, and these atmospheres are necessarily approximate, they should be useful for a number of kinds of spectral and atmospheric analysis.
