Georgiev, L.; Hernández, X.

A new method for automatic fitting of Pline profiles in UV spectra of stellar winds is presented. The line source function is calculated using Sobolev's approximation and the emergent flux is obtained by exact integration of the equation of the radiation transport (similar to the SEI method described by Lamers et al. (1987)). The quality of the fi…
