Scientific paper

The Lyα and Lyβ line profiles, including the nonthermal excitation and ionization of hydrogen by electron or proton bombardment, have been computed for atmospheres with the temperature distributions of the semi-empirical models F_1_ and F_2_. These computations indicate that the intensities at the line wings are greatly enhanced by nonthermal effects, especially for an electron beam bombardment. These effects are the most obvious when the coronal column mass is relatively small. Thus, nonthermal effects should be the most pronounced just at the beginning of the impulsive phase. After the maximum of the impulsive phase, due to a fast increase of the coronal column mass, these effects will rapidly decrease.
