Description: This journal article was written by John Lester and Hielding Neilson in their research of stellar atmosphere techniques. The abstract to the article states, "The current stellar atmosphere programs still cannot match some fundamental observations of the brightest stars, and with new techniques, such as optical interferometry, providing new data for these stars, additional development of stellar atmosphere codes is required. Aims: To modify the open-source model atmosphere program Atlas to treat spherical geometry, creating a test-bed stellar atmosphere code for stars with extended atmospheres."; Lester, J.B. & Neilson, H.R.
