Accurate abundance analysis of late-type stars: advances in atomic physics
read the original abstract
The measurement of stellar properties such as chemical compositions, masses and ages, through stellar spectra, is a fundamental problem in astrophysics. Progress in the understanding, calculation and measurement of atomic properties and processes relevant to the high-accuracy analysis of F-, G-, and K-type stellar spectra is reviewed, with particular emphasis on abundance analysis. This includes fundamental atomic data such as energy levels, wavelengths, and transition probabilities, as well as processes of photoionisation, collisional broadening and inelastic collisions. A recurring theme throughout the review is the interplay between theoretical atomic physics, laboratory measurements, and astrophysical modelling, all of which contribute to our understanding of atoms and atomic processes, as well as to modelling stellar spectra.

3D Non-LTE radiation transfer: theory and applications to stars, exoplanets, and kilonovae
A field review of 3D non-LTE radiative transfer argues that 1D LTE treatments of stellar, exoplanet, and kilonova spectra carry systematic abundance biases that 3D NLTE modeling can now remove.
