Since 1995, there have been great advances and extremely exciting results in the search for brown dwarfs and extrasolar giant planets. In the formation of their spectra, the far wings of the alkali resonance lines, especially Na I and K I, play an extraordinary role. Model atmospheres are necessary in order to calculate synthetic spectra and colors and to derive reliable parameters and the atmospheric chemical composition for such objects. Using alkali resonance line profiles [1] and [2], the differences in the synthetic spectra compared to earlier results [3], [4] will be outlined. Besides the line formation process dependent on the effective temperature and the chemistry in the atmosphere will be discussed. For the synthetic spectra, the general purpose stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX [5] is used.
