title dense nova photosphere
c
c commands controlling continuum =========
c this is the result of this command
c table star kurucz 35000; use old atlas atmosphere
c and makes it possible to run sims without
c installing the stellar atmosphere files 
c set SED of central star
table read "star_kurucz_35000.dat" 
c set luminosity of central star
absolute bolometric magnitude -8.1 
c
c commands for density & abundances =========
hden 10  ;log of total hydrogen density (cm-3) at illuminated face
abundances old solar 84 ; use old solar abundances for record keeping
c
c commands controlling geometry  =========
sphere   ; model is a full sphere covering the central star
// >>chng 00 oct 09, establish outer radius so that results are not
// sensitive to precise stopping physics
radius 12 to 14; log of inner and outer radii (cm)
c
c other commands for details     =========
iterate to convergence
c
c commands controlling output    =========
print line faint -1

this model is intensely affected by continuum pumping of atoms.  The
hydrogen ionizaiton is by lyman line pumping, followed by photoionization
from excited states.
