Abstract
A quality analysis of the equivalent widths (W) for solar lines tabulated in the Atlas of Moore et al. (1966) is undertaken by comparison with other modern sources. No significant correlation with λ is detected, and only a weak systematic dependence with W turned out which may be neglected for most practical purposes. An approximate trend for the internal dispersion as a function of W is also derived.
