Outline
- Introduction- 1D LTE/NLTE
- Worst-case scenarios- Recent progress- Calibration techniques- Practical implementation- Applications
- 3D LTE/NLTE- Worst-case scenarios- Observational tests- Mg : 1D/<3D>/LTE/NLTE- Ca : 1D/<3D>/3D/LTE/NLTE - Applications
Motivation
Galactic archaeology by chemical tagging of FGK stars
- Statistics : Soon > 106 stars
- Precision (S/N, wavelength range) : σ[X/H] < 0.1dex, σTeff<150K, σlog(g)<0.3dex
- Accuracy (assumptions: 1D, LTE, atomic data) : σ [X/H]< 0.5 dex, σTeff<400K, σlog(g)< 1 dex

Input data for NLTE analysis
Energy levels + oscillator strengths + photo-ionization cross sectionsRed boxes : have sufficient(?) data
Blue boxes : missing e.g. QM photo-ionisation, but NLTE still attempted
Input data for NLTE analysis
Blue boxes : QM hydrogen collisions exist or will exist
Input data for NLTE analysis
Solar neighborhood MDF Halo MDF [X/Fe] vs [Fe/H]
Most important free parameter in NLTEmodelling of Fe is FeI+HI collisional cross-section
Black – LTE Blue – NLTE with no hydrogen collisions
Calibration techniques: ionisation balance
Korn et al. 2003

Calibration techniques: excitation balance
Bergemann & Gehren 2008
“Thus, NLTE can solve the discrepancy between the abundances derived from the MnI resonance triplet at 403 nm and excited lines, which is found in analyses of metal-poor subdwarfs and subgiants”
S(H)=0.05
Calibration techniques: CLV

Observational tests: the Sun
Pereira et al. 2013
“We confronted the models with observational diagnostics of the [solar] temperature profile: continuum centre-to-limb variations (CLVs), absolute continuum fluxes, and the wings of hydrogen lines. We also tested the 3D models for the intensity distribution of the granulation and spectral line shapes. ”
“We conclude that the 3D hydrodynamical model is superior to any of the tested 1D models.”
Observational tests: low [Fe/H]
