Abstract
- It is shown that the gas surrounding a hot star is excited mainly by the stellar radiation field. The contribution of the excited states to the ionization rate R can noticeably exceed that of the basic state R. A simple approximation formula is obtained for the ratio R/ R. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
