The tool public_atmos.tbz implements a simple stellar atmosphere model. It assumes a one-dimensional slab in hydrostatic and local thermodynamic equilibrium with gray rosseland mean opacities. Still, it can be useful as a quick diagnostic of a stellar atmosphere, or for checking the effects of a more elaborate piece of local physics (e.g., ionization, such as the figure on the right).
