The Payne precisely and simultaneously determines numerous stellar labels from observed spectra based on fitting physical spectral models. It fits all all labels (stellar parameters and element abundances) simultaneously, and uses spectral models where the atmosphere structure and the radiative transport are consistently calculated to reflect the stellar labels. The Payne leads to both precise and accurate estimates of stellar labels, based on physical models and without re-calibration.
