Contents of Report
The report should be written in the format of a scientific paper using latex in Astronomy & Astrophysics journal style and bibtex.
1. Introduction
Give an introduction on the background for the project. Goals, Previous work (with references to the litterature).
2. Methods
Short description of the used methods (Radiation hydrodynamics or NLTE), code (RADYN, MULTI or RH). Description of the atomic models and atmospheric models. Give some figures showing the atmospheric and atomic models.
3. Results
Describe the results. Use figures. Remember labels on the axes and units (e.g. Wavelength (nm)).
4. Discussion and Conclusion
Discussion of assumptions/errors. How did the project answer the questions set up in the introduction?
