Further, the assumption of statistical equilibrium is not true in general. In such cases, energy transport calculations must include all time-dependent terms and the level-population evolution must be treated explicitly. Here we discuss this problem of non-equilibrium ionization in the solar chromosphere, for the particular case of hydrogen. |
