The aim of this work is to investigate certain assumptions that have been made in calculating line profiles and equivalent widths of neutral helium lines in early type stars. The effect of electron scattering on the continuum flux is investigated and a curve of growth analysis carried out to study this effect. The theories involved in calculating the line absorption coefficient are also investigated.

As part of a general investigation of interstellar clouds associated with southern HII regions we have begun a high-resolution study of the sodium D-line absorption in the directions of early-type stars that are likely to be associated with or located behind the clouds.

AbstractA spectroscopic and photometric study of 75 normal main sequence B2-B6 stars has been carried out. From the spectra (12 Å/mm, 3700-4800 Å) are determined: equivalent widths of all measurable lines, line profiles of hydrogen lines and v sin i. The photometric work includes besides uvby and β photometry, also photoelectrically determined line strengths of Hα and He I 4471 Å. Some preliminary results concerning the relation between the MK types and the atmospheric fundamental parameters (Teff, log g) of the stars are briefly discussed.

We have examined the theoretical wavelength dependence of linear polarization produced by electron scattering and modified by an absorptive opacity in the extended, distorted atmospheres of Be and Wolf-Rayet stars. A model atmosphere representing a Wolf-Rayet star recently calculated by Cassinelli and Hartmann was used. This model takes into consideration the subsonic portions of a radial, steady-state flow together with the requirement of radiative equilibrium. The model was then scaled down in temperature to approximate the cooler Be stars, again assuming radiative equilibrium. There were four models altogether, one WR star, and three Be models. All the atmospheres are quite extended by radiation pressure.
