“…The second significant feature is the relatively good agreement between the present results and both SCP theory [35] and Sahal-Bréchot predictions in [28]-labelled as 'SB' in the figure 7 caption. However, the present measured values for multiplet (2), λ = 634.7 and 637.1 nm, as well as those from [29], are notably lower than predicted by semi-classical theories. Quantum mechanical calculations based on the distorted-wave approximation, including configuration mixing done by Blaha in [30], are in close agreement with our experimental results for this multiplet (the agreement is also very close for multiplet (1), λ = 385.4, 385.6 and 386.3 nm).…”

“…In atmospheres of such stars Stark broadening is the dominant pressure-broadening mechanism and the knowledge of the Stark parameters is very important for a number of astrophysical problems. Even in atmospheres of relatively cool stars such as the Sun, where line broadening caused by collisions with neutrals is dominant, Stark broadening may compete with other broadening mechanisms in the line wings [2]. Stark broadening of spectral lines has also been attracting new interest in astrophysics [3], owing to the development of research on the physics of stellar interiors: in subphotospheric envelopes, the energy transport models require knowledge of radiative opacities and thus the relevant atomic process must be known with accuracy.…”

“…Moreover, Stark broad ening of lines orginating from energy levels with high prin cipal quantum numbers may be important and for some lines in atmospheres of cooler stars (see e.g. Vince et al 1985).…”

“…This broadening mechanism also may be important in the case of cooler stars, e.g. solar type stars, for transitions involving higher principal quantum numbers (Vince et al 1985). An interesting application where such a mechanism is of interest is also the modeling and investigation of subphotospheric layers (Seaton 1987).…”
