This is the first of three papers that present a detailed guide for working with the codes {\sc tlusty} and {\sc synspec} to generate model stellar atmospheres or accretion disks, and to produce detailed synthetic spectra. In this paper, we present a very brief manual intended for casual users who intend to use these codes for simple, well defined tasks. This paper does not present any background theory, or a description of the adopted numerical approaches, but instead uses simple examples to explain how to employ these codes. In particular, it shows how to produce a simple model atmosphere from the scratch, or how to improve an existing model by considering more extended model atoms. This paper also presents a brief guide to the spectrum synthesis program {\sc synspec}.

  1. TESS Observations of Stochastic Low-frequency Variability in Extreme Helium Stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    TESS data show stochastic low-frequency variability dominates in most extreme helium stars, with characteristic timescales of 0.5-10 days correlating to stellar parameters and matching subsurface convection predictions.

  2. Evidence for neutron capture in heavy-metal hot subdwarfs: Far-UV spectroscopy of EC22536-5304 and LSIV-14 116

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Far-UV spectroscopy of two hot subdwarfs reveals extreme heavy-element enrichments with patterns matching i-process nucleosynthesis, indicating self-enrichment rather than diffusion.

  3. Spectral Disentangling Reveals Deep CNO-cycle Exposure in ET Cru

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spectral disentangling of ET Cru yields masses of 13.41 and 6.00 solar masses with 1.3% precision and shows the secondary has severe CNO-cycle chemical anomalies exceeding typical Algol systems.

  4. Characterizing Orbital Parameters of Hot Subdwarf Binaries with Multiple Spectroscopic Surveys

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-survey analysis of 157 hot subdwarf binaries yields 23 orbital solutions (11 new) whose mass-period distribution matches post-common-envelope systems, supporting a common-envelope origin.

  5. Searching for Hot Subdwarf Stars in LAMOST DR1-II. Pure spectroscopic identification method for hot subdwarfs

    astro-ph.SR 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    HELM machine learning applied to LAMOST DR1 spectra yields 56 hot subdwarfs (5 He-rich, 51 He-poor) whose parameters confirm two helium sequences.
