PY - 1998 SN - 0365-0138 UR - https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/59537 T2 - Astronomy & astrophysics supplement series AB - We present a new set of accurate formulae for the computation of random errors in the measurement of atomic and molecular line-strength indices. The new expressions are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. We have found that, in some...
