Abstract
A theoretical calculation is presented for absorption-line profiles of alkali-metal atomic spectra. The red- and violet-satellite bands caused by interactions with noble-gas perturbing atoms are discussed in detail. The statistical theory is used in calculating absorption profiles. It is shown that the pair-distribution function between atoms has an important, and temperature-dependent, influence on the red-satellite bands.Keywords
