This directory contains the MARCS models used to create the APOGEE synthetic spectral grids.
These atmospheres were largely created by B. Edvarsson for the SDSS/APOGEE project, and differ from the normal MARCS grids in that they provide regularly spaced rectangular grids in Teff, log g, [M/H], [alpha/M], and [C/M]. See Readme_MARCS_v3_2016.txt These grids were supplemented by models for logg=5.5 created by Thomas Masseron.
The MARCS models can be found in directories mod_*, organized by [M/H].
The nltepop directory contains the atmospheres formatted for use with Synspec, including NLTE level population calculations by Yeisson Osorio.
