11: Curve of Growth

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

It will be part of the aim of this chapter to predict the curve of growth for gaussian and lorentzian profiles, and also for Voigt profile for different Gauss/Lorentz ratios. The curve of growth (die Wachstumskurve) is a graph showing how the equivalent width of an absorption line, or the radiance of an emission line, increases with the number of atoms producing the line.
