Abstract
This paper reviews a number of numerical techniques for computing static stellar atmospheres and emergent flux distributions accounting for the blanketing and blending effects of all atomic transitions in full statistical equilibrium. The framework for calculation is the complete linearization of angle and frequency moments of the transfer equations; the so-called multi-frequency / multi-gray approach. Here I discuss the algorithms, setting up the problem, and computational strategies.
