J/A+AS/122/285      VCS Stark broadening tables for hydrogen       (Lemke, 1997)

Description:
    Stark profiles computed with the VCS theory are presented here for the
    Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett series of hydrogen. They
    cover the series up to n=22 and a wide range of temperature and
    electron density. Both Doppler broadened profiles (as applicable to
    stellar atmospheres) and unbroadened profiles are given.
