HyLight documentation

HyLight (HYdrogen recombination LIne emission from ionised Gas in varying tHermal condiTions) calculates the level population of the excited states in atomic hydrogen and hence the typical recombination line emissivity. The results are accurate under typical photoionised nebular conditions.
