Abstract

LTE/non-LTE boundary has been derived from the analysis of the flux data from atmospheric models. The derived border line seems to be like a reasonable extension at low logg's of the Kudritzki line (Kudritzki, 1976), derived in a similar way. A discrepancy is evidenced between boundaries based on photometric analysis and the ones based on physical considerations.
