- In eclipse, the emission spectrum is integrated over the entire star.
- Outside of eclipse, the emission flux is insignificant.
- The absorption on the LoS selectively probes a beam about 8000 km in diameter.
- The absorption line profiles yield
- gas velocity
- gas temperature
- column density of each species
- gas density
- In principle, we can determine T(h) and P(h)
