2000 in Modelling of Stellar Atmospheres, IAU Symposium 210

Long-baseline interferometry at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an emerging technology which is quickly becoming a useful tool to investigate stellar atmospheres and to compare observations with models. Stellar atmosphere models have so far mainly been constrained by comparisons with stellar spectra which are integrated over the stellar disks. Interferometric observations provide spati...
