Abstract
The following applications of spectral line broadening theory to astrophysics are briefly reviewed: (i) understanding qualitative effects visible on spectrograms; (ii) quantitative understanding of hydrogen-line profiles for the determination of stellar atmospheric parameters; (iii) effects of line broadening on the determination of stellar chemical composition.Keywords
