Modelling of the spectra and atmospheres of evolved stars

Abstract

The method and results of the computation of the model atmospheres and spectral energy distributions of chemically peculiar stars, are discussed. The models are computed with a special consideration of the particular problems encountered when computing model atmospheres for M and C-giants, and of hydrogen deficient stars. We present some computed model atmospheres for Sakurai's object, giants of globular clusters, and C-giants.
