Abstract
A fraunhofer line profile depends on various parameters, partly related to the photospheric structure (T, Pg, Pe, vconv, vturb), partly to the atom or ion involved (such as oscillator strength, energy levels), partly also resulting from the interaction of the relevant kind of particles with the photosphere, and the photospheric radiation field. In this paper we shall mainly pay attention to the determination of: the macroturbulent (convective) velocities, vconv (τ); the damping constant γ (τ); the abundance, Ael; the distribution function ϕ(vconv, τ) of the convective velocities at each depth τ; the source function, S (τ); the microturbulent velocities, vturb (τ).
