The accuracy of the ALI method for solving the radiative transfer equation in stellar atmospheres
Abstract
We test the accuracy of the ALI method, widely used in stellar atmosphere modelling, by solving exactly a standard radiative transfer problem in plane-parallel geometry. Some recommendations are given for a practical use of this method.
