Extract

It is well known that the wings of the solar sodium D-lines cannot be predicted successfully using present line-broadening theories and elemental abundances derived from an equivalent-width analysis of the weak lines. By far the most important cause of broadening of the D-lines is collision broadening by neutral hydrogen.
