Tübingen NLTE Model-Atmosphere Package


The Tübingen NLTE Model-Atmosphere Package (TMAP) is a tool to calculate stellar atmospheres in spherical or plane-parallel geometry in hydrostatic and radiative equilibrium allowing departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) for the population of atomic levels.

TMAP is based on the so-called Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) method and is able to account for line blanketing by metals. All elements from hydrogen to nickel may be included in the calculation with model atoms which are tailored for the aims of the user.

For a more detailed description, see Werner & Dreizler 1999, Werner at al. 2003, and Rauch & Deetjen 2003 or the User's Guide (below).

For the creation of plots, we recommend the use of WRPLOT
