           KIS course  "Solar Spectrum Formation"  
           --------------------------------------    

location
  meeting room HB1 2nd floor

schedule (week 34, August 25-28)
                               theory        theory      examples
  Tuesday                    14:00-14:45  15:00-15:45  16:00-16:30
  Wednesday through Friday   10:00-10:45  11:00-11:45  12:00-12:30
    ## good scheme.  Slow at start, faster at end

  optional computer practicals SSA, SSB, SSC (see materials)
    SSA = stellar classification, Saha-Boltzmann, curve of growth
    SSB = solar FALC model, H_minus continuum, NaI D1 in LTE 
    SSC = inversion, Newton-Raphson, lambda iteration
    ## this time not mandatory, no afternoon sessions.  Nobody did I think.
  
Tuesday: basic stellar spectrum formation
  course starter: Annie Cannon, Saha-Boltzmann, Cecilia Payne  ## good spiel
  introduction to solar spectrum: continuum  ## curve flipping nontrivial
  bb processes and pairs (later flipover > painting on door)   ## many repeats
  intensity conservation + exam (ponder in break)  ## nontrivial
  applications/examples
    coronal radiation: white light, optical lines, EUV, CE vs LTE
    
Wednesday: spectrum formation
  coronal radiation: dielectronic recombination, coronal EUV bright/dark
  introduction to solar spectrum: lines
  basic RT quantities
  constant S cloud line formation 
  plane-parallel RT 
  applications/examples
    lines and limb darkening     
    4-panel Eddington-Barbier cartoons
    UV line flip + VALIIIC temperature  ## not Avrett cartoon but should have

Thursday: NLTE-SE formalisms
  line broadening
  partial redistribution
  lambda operator in gory detail
  2-level source function
  Zwaan demo-eqs sqrt(eps) law, thermalization depth
  Avrett 2-level graphs
  SE equations
  break: mugshots
  applications/examples
    MgI edges
    VAL3C continua  ## not cooling but should have
  
Friday: missing, summary, refinements, state-of-the-art
  MgI edges again
  multi-level detours
  equation summary
  scattering summary
  target 
  solar atmosphere scene 
  NLTE summary
  NaD1 exam
  applications/examples
    chromospheric line formation
    Mg 12-micron lines             ## forgot emphasis on collisional NLTE
    clapotispheric line formation  ## should have added NaID shocks

skipped
  initially: target, scene, eq. summary  ## OK at end
  CFs and RFs                 ## indeed boring 
  LTE line equations          ## indeed boring
  LTE strong-line opacities   ## too much now
  formal temperatures, departure coefficients, lasering
  radiative cooling           ## oops
  Lambda and accelerated lambda iteration
  NaD1 beauty                 ## pity  
  applications/examples
    planetary nebulae, nebulium lines
    limb emission lines
    magnetic bright points
    NaID magnetograms
    Halpha 
    others
