Astronomy -- Non-Optical Methods (QB:468-480)
QB 474 Ultraviolet Astronomy
Summary:
Select Data from Kelly Atomic Data is a site that "...permits selective
searches of some atomic data compiled by R.L. Kelly. The data provided are:
(1) vacuum wavelength [in nm]; (2) intensity estimate; (3) E[in cm] [to the
negative one power], j, and configuration for lower and upper levels; (4)
multiplet (where available); and (5) reference numbers of the sources of the
data." The site is an information source of atomic and ionic UV/VUV
linelist
and is a division of the WWW site, "Databases of Atomic and Molecular Data
for Astronomy," sponsored by the CfA Atomic and Molecular Physics division
of Harvard University.
Upon accessing the site, the user will find general site information and a
link to reference numbers. Here, users will find an alphabetical reference
list compiled by Professor Raymond L. Kelly of the Naval Postgraduate
School. Scrolling to view entries, the user will note that each entry is
composed of the author(s)' name, journal title, volume and issue numbers,
page numbers, and publication year. Within the site's main page are two
possible search methods. The first, a vacuum wavelength search, offers two
search fields and instructions. The second, an atomic number charge range
search, offers search instructions and two search fields.
To activate a search, a user should fill in appropriate search fields within
the main page. The results offered for both search methods are identical;
users will find a results page, with data presented in columns, noted as:
(1) VAC_WL (nm); (2) Inten; (3) Z. Charge; (4) E_low [cm-1]; (5) j_l; (6)
E_up [cm-1]; (7) j_u; (8) Mult; (9) REF1; (10) REFu; (11) Config_l; and (12)
Config_u.
At the bottom of the site's main page is a link to the database homepage and
to e-mail the site's creators. The site is sponsored by the CfA Atomic and
Molecular Physics Division; Harvard University; Cambridge, Massachusetts.
