Description

There are many different opacity sources in the stellar atmospheres. Because of limited computational time and memory the less important opacity sources are usually neglected in stellar atmosphere models. Rayleigh scattering is one of such opacities that are frequently neglected in model atmospheres. But this neglect could not be valid for every case. We study influence of the Rayleigh scattering by hydrogen, helium, and selected metals on computed stellar atmospheres of hot stars with solar chemical composition and some types of CP stars
