Recent developments of the CHIANTI database in the X-ray wavelength range
Abstract
CHIANTI is a database of atomic data and transition probabilities that allows the calculation of synthetic spectra and plasma diagnostics of optically thin plasmas. It is primarily suited for wavelengths shorter than 2000 Å but in principle can also be used at longer wavelengths. In the present paper we illustrate the latest development of the CHIANTI database, that include a huge expansion of the database in the X-ray wavelength range, the renewal of several data in the EUV range, and the inclusion of ionization and recombination in the level population calculation. This enhanced database will constitute the Version 5 of CHIANTI.
