On the spectrum of a gaseous nebula of pure hydrogen - III: The Balmer decrement

The Balmer decrement was calculated for a homogeneous, spherical, pure hydrogen nebula, ionised and excited both by radiative and collisional processes. Reabsorption in the Balmer series from sublevels 2 s and 2 p was taken into account. Calculations were carried out for electron temperatures of 104...
