In general, it is very difficult to obtain unique coefficients for solutions that contain only a single spectrum when the line shape is as complex as that required by line mixing. The fitting of numerous spectra obtained with different physical conditions in the optical path can allow a unique solution. Mathematical techniques have been incorporated which make the calculation of the line profiles and their derivatives not greatly longer than the equivalent spectral lines without line mixing. en_US dc.format.extent 100002 bytes dc.format.mimetype image/jpeg dc.language.iso English en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title A MULTISPECTRUM NONLINEAR LEAST SQUARES FITTING TECHNIQUE: INCLUSION OF LINE MIXING en_US dc.type article en_US
