Two important recent developments in Stark broadening are presented in
this work: The first describes the Frequency Separation Technique (FS
T), which is motivated by the standard electron-ion separation and has
important applications in that, coupled to any of a variety of method
s capable of treating the intermediate ion-dynamical regime: (but not
capable of treating ion impact), presents a unified and practical solu
tion to the ion-dynamical problem. That is, this technique allows the
relaxation of the quasistatic approximation. The second describes rece
nt improvements that allow the accurate calculation of electron impact
widths. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
