With the development of astronomical observations from space, spectral lines of trace elements can now be observed in stellar spectra with good resolution, and atomic data for such atoms and ions have an increasing significance. We review here work in Belgrade on the influence of Stark broadening of trace elements on stellar spectra and present new determinations of Stark broadening parameters of neutral tellurium. Also the corresponding Stark and Doppler widths are compared in atmospheres of A type stars.
