contents Neutral Fe lines are the most abundant in the spectrum of late stars. They are used to obtain different basic stellar parameters such as relative abundances, surface gravity, and effective temperature. However, the centers of many of these lines are formed in the stellar chromosphere, being affected by the changes produced by magnetic activity. Calculating non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) semi-empirical models of the stellar atmosphere, it is possible to study the formation of these lines in detail. We present a new updated model of the Fe i atom, which allows us to calculate 1715 lines of Fe i between 3000 and 7000 A in stars with different levels of chromospheric activity. Preliminary results show the presence of spectral ranges more sensitive to chromospheric heating, suggesting that the lines with greater variations must be taken into account, and should even be excluded, when be used for the purposes described above.
