Blue lines as chromospheric diagnostics: The Si I lines at 3906 and 4103 Å

We present a complete atomic model for Si I line synthesis. We study how the computed profiles of two blue lines of this atom 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 depend strongly on the...
