We investigate the influence of stochastic temperature fluctuations on the observed spectra in continuum. Temperature fluctuations exist in the photospheres and atmospheres of stars, in interstellar media, and in the vicinity of AGN and quasars. In these cases we observe the mean values of intensities from the objects. The particular calculations were made for the frequently used model of semi-infinite turbulent homogeneous atmosphere with the Planck source function. We show that temperature fluctuations T’ change the spectral distribution of observed radiation in all regions of spectra, especially in the ultraviolet region, where they increase the mean intensity compared with the Planck intensity Bᵥ(T⁽⁰⁾) at the mean temperature T⁽⁰⁾. In the maximum of Planck’s spectrum, the difference between the Planck intensity Bᵥ(T⁽⁰⁾) and the observed mean intensity Iᵥ⁽⁰⁾ can also be large (about 5−30%). This difference can be negative or positive depending on the particular form of the absorption coefficient. Our results demonstrate that the turbulencerelated small-scale temperature fluctuations contribute to the overall deviations from the Planck intensity. The temperature fluctuations change the observed U − B, B − V, etc. colour indices. Our simple technique can also be used to analyze of the radiation spectra from all sources, not only for the thermal Planck radiation.
