For the diagnostics of stellar surface structure, studies of “ordinary” line profiles may prove inadequate. However, hydrodynamic models may be constrained by second-order quantities, such as line asymmetries and wavelength shifts (and especially the differential behavior between lines of different excitation potential, ionization stage, and height of formation, as well as by the time dependence).
