Description
With the goal of producing a reliable set of model atoms and singly
ionized ions for use in building NLTE model atmospheres, we have
combined measured energy levels, critically compiled line transition
probabilities, and resonance-averaged calculations of photoionization
cross sections.
A majority of the elements from Li to Ca are considered, covering most
of the important species in late-type atmospheres. These include
elements that contribute free electrons and/or continuous opacity in the
ultraviolet (e.g., Mg and Si), as well as trace elements whose abundance
determinations rely on ultraviolet lines (e.g., B from B I lines). The
new data complement and, for the species in common, supersede a previous
collection of model atoms originally designed for use in studies of
early-type stars.
