N E M O grid of model atmospheres
Vienna New Model Grid of Stellar Atmospheres


The NEMO grid is several new sets of grids of model stellar atmospheres computed with modified versions of the ATLAS9 code. Each individual set consists of several grids of models with different metallicities. The individual sets differ from each other and from previous ones essentially in the physics used for the treatment of the convective energy transport, in the higher vertical resolution of the atmospheres and in a finer grid in the (Teff,logg) plane. These improvements enable the computation of derivatives of color indices accurate enough for pulsation mode identification. In addition, the chosen vertical resolution is necessary and sufficient for the purpose of stellar interior modelling.

April 2010:   Extension of the grid to vmicro = 8 km/s. That are 30846 new models, fluxes and sets of colors.
Oktober 2008:   Synthetic filter photometry for all new model fluxes. Recalculated also all existing color tables. Added the SDSS ugriz and u'g'r'i'z' filter systems. Not only the color indizes but also the single filter colors have been normalized.
July 2008:   Additional data for the computed models can also be downloaded via the NEMO online search. These files, formerly know as 'the out files', contain now more information as those from the NEMO 2003 grid and have therefor a slightly different format; naturally.
May 2008:   Model fluxes for the new models are calculated and available for download.
February 2008:   The Extension of the model grid to Teff = 20000K is public. The additional models count 54573. They can be obtained via the NEMO online search . The calculation of the corresponding model fluxes is in progress. We will create a new DVD iso-image when the fluxes and colors are finished.
