Continuum Formation

Continuum Formation is a radiative process in stellar atmospheres that belongs to the class of spectral formation mechanisms, specifically distinguished by the production of a smooth, continuous spectrum arising from the collective effects of bound-free, free-free, and free-bound transitions in ionized gases, rather than from discrete atomic line emissions.
