Scientific paper

In the present paper, a method proposed by Seliakov (1979) is applied to the calculation of the populations of hydrogen atom levels and Balmer line profiles of prominences. The calculations are carried out for optical thicknesses in the H-alpha line ranging from 1 to 40, electron temperatures ranging from 6000 to 10,000 K, and logarithmic electron densities from 9 to 11. It is shown that the electron density does not affect the observed spectral characteristics. The line halfwidths are defined only by the optical thickness, while the total intensities depend also on the electron temperature.
