| Description | Models of rotating stellar atmospheres have been constructed for masses appropriate to middle and late A stars, and some of the photometric properties of these models are discussed. A specific model for the rapidly rotating star Altair has been constructed matching the observed radius, luminosity, and projected rotational velocity. It is found that the energy distribution predicted for the model agrees well with that observed for Altair, after the latter has been corrected for line blanketing. |
