CHIANTI: A database for astrophysical emission line spectroscopy

The CHIANTI Consortium

Abstract: CHIANTI consists of a critically evaluated set of atomic data necessary to calculate the emission line spectrum of astrophysical plasmas. The data consists of atomic energy levels, atomic radiative data such as wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths and A values, and electron collisional excitation rates. A set of programs that use these data to calculate the spectrum in a desired wavelength range as a function of temperature and density are also provided. These programs have been written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) and the below linked html document provides a description of these various programs.
Subject headings: astronomical data bases: miscellaneous, atomic data, atomic processes, stars: atmospheres, Sun: atmosphere, techniques: spectroscopic, ultraviolet: general
