Scientific paper

The paper considers a non-equilibrium, steady-state hydrogen plasma with electron density ranging from 10 to the 10th to 10 to the 17th per cu cm, and electron temperature ranging from 8000 to 64,000 K. The following two cases are analyzed: (1) the plasma is optically thin for all atomic lines and (2) the plasma is optically thick towards the Lyman lines and optically thin for all other lines. Analytical expressions have been obtained for populations and ionization frequencies of excited levels. Populations of the excited levels obtained from the analytical formulas are in good agreement with numerical calculations.
