Scientific paper

We present a new code for the calculation of static, spherically symmetric, opacity-sampling model atmospheres in local thermodynamic equilibrium for cool giants and supergiants of spectral type M. Up-to-date data for line opacities have been included, with new calculated line lists for the TiO, VO, and H2O molecules. This is the first time both sphericity and a realistic description (opacity sampling) of all opacity sources are used simultaneously for the calculation of cool stellar atmospheres and this results in a better agreement between calculated and observed fluxes and colors.
