Stellar Laboratories: High-precision Atomic Physics with STIS
The PhD thesis project focuses on quantitative spectral analyses of high-resolution ultraviolet stellar spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium model-atmosphere techniques will be employed to compare measured and calculated line strengths of the elements from calcium to nickel.
