Blue lines as chromospheric diagnostics: The Al I lines at 3944 and 3961 Å

We present a simple atomic model for the synthesis of the Al I resonance lines, near the Ca II H and K lines. We study whether the computed profiles are influenced by the choice of the atomic parameters and find that, although several cross sections are not known accurately, the line profiles do not...
