✦ Synopsis

A series of non-LTE radiative transfer solutions for Ha was computed using the integrodifferential equation technique of Athay and Skumanich (1967). A model hydrogen atom consisting of three bound levels and a continuttm was assumed. It was found that increasing the temperature of the chromosphere at the height of line formation decreases the central intensity of the line. The density structure of the atmosphere primarily affects the optical depth scale rather than the source function. The temperature minimum region of the atmosphere was found to be transparent to Hot radiation, so that the radiation in some part of the line will arise from two distinct layers of the atmosphere, one above the temperature minimum and one below it. The computed Ha profile was found to be highly sensitive to the assumed 2-3 collisional cross-section.

We briefly review the status of models of optical flare heating by electron bombardment. We recompute Brown's (1973a) flare model atmospheres using considerably revised radiative loss rates, based on Canfield's (1974b) method applied to Ha, La, and H-.

A generalized equation was obtained for calculation of line profiles of solar formations in the assumption of their inhomogeneity. Line profiles of homogeneous formations are a particular consequence of this equation. Analysis of the equation and line profiles calculated from it was carried out.
