Abstract
The quality of astronomical spectra is now so high that the accuracy of the laboratory data is getting more and more important. Both in astrophysics and in cosmology the needs for accurate laboratory wavelengths have increased with the development of new ground-based and air-borne telescopes and spectrographs. The high-resolution UV Fourier Transform (FT) spectrometer at Lund Observatory is being used for studying laboratory spectra of astrophysically important elements.
