Problems with Atomic and Molecular Data: Including All the Lines

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Determination of Atmospheric Parameters of B-, A-, F- and G-Type Stars

Part of the book series: GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences ((GEPS))

Abstract

The line data available on my web site for computing opacities, model atmospheres, and spectra were computed or collected from the literature more than 25 years ago. I am recomputing the existing line lists including many more configurations and energy levels and producing many more lines. I am collecting more recent data from the literature, and I am extending the calculation to heavier elements and higher stages of ionization. I will produce more than 10 times as many lines which will significantly increase the opacity in the models and produce improved fits to observed spectra. All the new data are available on my website http://kurucz.harvard.edu.
