Scientific paper

A Conference on model stellar atmospheres was held at the Observatory on January 20-21, 1964, in conjunction with Harvard College Observatory. The Proceedings principally comprise texts provided by the participants. Discussions from the floor were tape-recorded and have been summarized and paraphrased by the organizing committee for inclusion in these proceedings. Following is a list of papers and participants: Session I. Basic Data for Model Atmospheres: (1) Introductory Remarks, by E. Böhm-Vitense (2) Pressure-Dependent Partition Functions and Equilibrium Constants for Molecular Hydrogen, by M. S. Vardya; (3) Computation of Adiabatic Gradient, by M. S.
