We present a brief description of the newly upgraded versions of the programs TLUSTY, version 208, and SYNSPEC, version 54. TLUSTY is used to generate model stellar atmospheres or accretion disks, and SYNSPEC produces detailed synthetic spectra and/or opacity tables. This paper complements published guides that provide a detailed description of earlier versions of the codes, TLUSTY205, and SYNSPEC51. The main upgrades include the flexible construction of opacity tables in SYNSPEC, and their use in producing hybrid models with TLUSTY}, with important species treated in NLTE, while the bulk of opacity of atomic and molecular lines and continua are considered in LTE using a pre-calculated opacity table. There is also a number of additional changes and upgrades that increase the versatility and flexibility of these codes.

  1. A New Approach to Modeling Line Shapes with Quasi-H$_2^+$ Satellites in Stellar Atmospheres

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A simulation-based line shape code that alternates between atomic and molecular bases yields broader quasi-H2+ satellites that better match a white dwarf's ultraviolet spectrum.

  2. Radial velocity and atmospheric parameter calculations for the GaiaNIR spectrograph

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For GaiaNIR, a 1926–1968 nm K-band window at R≈16,000–20,000 offers the best simulated balance of radial-velocity precision, atmospheric-parameter precision, and low interstellar extinction.

  3. Caveats about measuring carbon abundances in stars using the CH band

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Carbon abundances derived from CH 4300 A bands shift by up to 0.8 dex depending on which synthetic spectrum grid is used, even though internal precision and band-to-band agreement are excellent.

  4. Abundances of P, S, and K in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

    astro-ph.SR 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    First detection of moderate phosphorus enhancement in old bulge spheroid stars, plus new sulphur and potassium abundances from APOGEE H-band spectra.

  5. Hot donors in cataclysmic variables: The case of EI Psc

    astro-ph.SR 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    EI Psc is a 64-minute cataclysmic variable whose warm donor star and 0.70-solar-mass white dwarf point to a 1.1-1.5 solar-mass donor that lost most of its mass.

  6. SDSS-V Milky Way Mapper (MWM): ASPCAP Stellar Parameters and Abundances in SDSS-V Data Release 19

    astro-ph.SR 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    DR19 provides ASPCAP stellar parameters and abundances for 964,989 stars, with validated precision of 50-100 K in Teff, 0.07-0.09 dex in log g, and 0.02-0.04 dex for several elements.
