This chapter provides a broad overview of the spectroscopic principles required in order to perform quantitative spectroscopy of atmospheres. It couples the details of atmospheric spectroscopy with the radiative transfer processes and also with the assessment of rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopic measurements of atmospheres. The principles apply from line-resolved measurements (chiefly microwave through infrared) through ultraviolet and visible measurements employing absorption cross sections developed from individual transitions. The chapter introduces Einstein coefficients before in turn discussing rotational spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear spin, and electronic spectroscopy.

We present the analysis of UV and optical spectra of M 33 early B-type supergiants. Stellar parameters, metal abundances (Si, Mg, O and N) and mass loss rates are derived from anlyses of optical spectra by means of non-LTE unblanketed unified model atmospheres (fastwind code, Santolaya-Rey, Puls & Herrero 1997). These analyses use wind terminal velocities previously derived from the analysis of UV P-Cygni profiles. Stellar radial gradients of Si, O and Mg are derived for the M 33 disk. Differential abundances of those elements with respect to Galactic counterparts are also presented, along with nitrogen. Finally, the wind momenta of M 33 stars is derived and compared with the one found for Galactic B-type supergiants.
