Grid of 1D helium-rich LTE synthetic spectra Separate files for log (g) = 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9,0 Each file includes temperatures from 2000 (3500 pure pure-He) to 40,000 K. Composition (y = He/H) is from pure-He (y=1e30), to 1e8, 1e5 and 1e2 Convection model is 1D ML2/alpha = 1.25. File format: 1) Grid of 2711 wavelength points in Angstrom 2) For each model at fixed gravity Header "Effective temperature = [value] gravity = [value] y = 1.000E+30" Grid of 2711 Fnu Eddington fluxes in air wavelength (units of erg cm^-2 s^-1 Hz^-1) Main reference Cukanovaite, E., Tremblay, P.-E., Bergeron, P., et al. (2021) MNRAS, 501, 5274. Conversion: The flux at Earth is f = 4*pi*R^2/D^2 * Eddington flux where R is the white dwarf radius, D the distance and the Eddington flux the quantity in the files. The radius can be found from Evolutionary Sequences. There are several sources including the website below https://www.astro.umontreal.ca/~bergeron/CoolingModels/ For spectroscopic fitting 3D corrections should be added for accurate atmospheric parameters. For photometric fitting 1D models are sufficient. The link below provides 3D correction functions as a Python code.

Non-ideal effects from charged and neutral particles Hummer, D.G. and Mihalas, D. 1988, ApJ, 331, 794 (Bohr radii of H I, H2, He II and He III have a free parameter of 0.5; see Tremblay et al. 2010, ApJ, 712, 1345; Cukanovaite et al. 2021 MNRAS, 501, 5274) Non-ideal effects on ionisation potentials are excluded from this version because the HM88 thoery is thought to be unreliable at densities where partial degeneracy is important. It means that the fraction of free electrons is the same as that of an ideal gas. Non-ideal effects are still included for individual population levels.
