Stellar Atmosphere Models


** News **

2020 September: A significant upgrade to Sterne occured during July 2020 when the possibility to specify the overall composition with more elements was included. At the same time, the code now conserves mass fraction of metals rather than number fractions for mixtures where the hydrogen:helium ratio is changed. To accommodate both changes, all the grids are being recomputedi, starting with models having microturbulent velocity = 0. Models having vturb=5 and 10 km s-1 and also carbon- and nitorgen-enriched mixtures will follow.


Grids are organized by composition - H-nn-He-mm--zzz-
-nn-: Hydrogen fraction (per cent)
-mm-: Helium fraction (per cent)
-zzz-: Metallicity label

Each tarball contains a grid organized by effective temperature and surface gravity
Model names are constructed as - t-ttt-g-ggg--zzz-???
-ttt-: Effective temperature in defgrees K / 100
-ggg-: Surface gravity in log ( g / cm s^-2 ) * 100
-zzz-: Metallicity label
-vv- : microturbulent velocity in km/

For each model, there are several files
-model-.q: Model structure in dense 'QUB' format
-model-.s: Emergent flux at low resolution
-model-.MODEL: Model structure in extended format (under development)A
-model--wl-v-vv-.000: Emergent flux, continuum flux, etc at high resolution for given wavelength range
-model--wl-v-vv-.001: Normalized flux at high resolution for given wavelength range

More information is given in the LTECODES web pages
These are very large files: download only if necessary
