Abstract

Most of the lines in the UV spectra are lines of ions which are formed in high temperature regions where the pressure broadening is caused by electrons and protons. This is the case in O and B type stars for which the theoretical calculation of the width of all the strong UV lines is important in determining both the blanketing effect and the abundances of the elements.
