Non-Lte Effects on be and B Abundance Determinations in Cool Stars
Abstract
Description
We discuss the nature of non-LTE effects affecting abundance analysis of cool stars. The departures from LTE of importance for the B I lines in solar-type stars are described and some new results are presented. Boron abundances derived under the LTE assumption have significant systematic errors, especially for metal-poor stars. For beryllium, current results suggest that departures from LTE will not affect abundance analysis significantly.
