Status of Atomic Spectroscopy Data

• Atomic Spectroscopy

W. C. Martin and W. L. Wiese

This article outlines the main concepts of atomic structure, with some emphasis on terminology and notation. Atomic radiation is discussed, and updated tabulations of ionization energies for the neutral atoms and transition probabilities for persistent lines of selected neutral atoms are included.

• Atomic Spectra and Wavelength Standards

S. Johansson

Section 1 of this Report was prepared by the Working Group on Atomic Spectra and Wavelength Standards for the International Astronomical Union, Commission on Atomic and Molecular Data. The references cited for all categories of data in this report comprise an extensive review of atomic spectroscopic data for astrophysics covering the literature from 1996 to 2002. Includes a section on Atomic Spectroscopic Data on the Internet.

• Atomic Transition Probabilities

W. L. Wiese and J. R. Fuhr

This Working Group 2 Report has been updated through July 2002 for the International Astronomical Union, Commission on Atomic and Molecular Data. An extensive review of atomic spectroscopic data for astrophysics covering the literature from 1996 through 2002.

• Program of the NIST Atomic Spectroscopy Data Centers

W. L. Wiese and J. Reader

Critically evaluated data and bibliographies on atomic spectra are listed, including: energy levels, wavelengths, transition probabilities, and line shapes.

• International Conference on Atomic and Molecular Data and Their Applications (ICAMDATA)

Information about the ongoing conference series concerning the production, distribution and use of atomic and molecular data is included.
