Abstract

We present first results of our line position calculations in the presence of strong magnetic and electric fields, as one can find in the dense atmospheres of magnetic White Dwarfs. The problem was solved by second order perturbation theory with hydrogenic wavefunctions calculated in a pure magnetic field and arbitrary orientations of the electric and magnetic fields.
