Handling of Atomic Data
Abstract
State-of-the-art NLTE model atmosphere codes have arrived at a high level of ``numerical'' sophistication and are an adequate tool to analyze the available high-quality spectra from the infrared to the X-ray wavelength range. The computational capacities allow the calculation which include all elements from hydrogen up to the iron group and the lack of reliable atomic data has become a crucial problem for further progress.
We summarize briefly the available sources of atomic data and how these are implemented in the Tübingen Model Atmosphere Package (TMAP).- Publication:
