Reference Wavelengths From Atomic Spectra in the Range 15 Å to 25000 Å

Abstract

This is a compilation of atomic lines with accurately known wavelengths covering the range from 15 Å to 25000 Å. The tables are a fairly complete record of available spectrum lines that meet the requirements for useful references with regard to wavelength accuracy and intensity. In general, wavelength uncertainties range from 0.0001 Å to 0.002 Å. Section 1, λ > 2000 Å, gives λ_air and λ_vac for 3341 lines belonging to thirteen different spectra of ten elements. Section 2, λ < 2000 Å, contains 2091 lines belonging to 59 different spectra of 28 elements. The lines of section 2 are listed both by spectrum (i.e. element and ionization stage) and in a finding list arranged in order of decreasing wavelength. Detailed explanations of the data and the sources used for the compilation are included.
