Resonance Absorption Lines Package

The functions defined in ResonanceAbsorptionLines` allow you to efficiently search through an atomic data table for resonance absorption lines. Other functions give absorption maps of particular elements or of a particular wavelength range.

FindIons[wavelength1,wavelength2]give the resonance absorption lines in the wavelength range between wavelength1 and wavelength2

Finding the resonance absorption lines.

This loads the package.
This gives the resonance absorption lines in the wavelength range between 1215 angstroms and 1220 angstroms.
AtomicData[element]give the spectral data for the resonance absorption lines produced by the specified element
VacuumWavelength[element]give a list of the wavelengths in vacuum for the resonance absorption lines produced by the specified element

Properties of resonance absorption lines.

AtomicData[element] gives a list of properties for the lines produced by the specified element. These properties are vacuum wavelength, air wavelength, lower-term fine structure energy, statistical weight of the lower level, statistical weight of the upper level, relative strength, transition probability, damping constant, and oscillator strength of the element. Individual properties can be selected using the functions VacuumWavelength, AirWavelength, LowerTermFineStructureEnergy, LowerStatisticalWeight, UpperStatisticalWeight, RelativeStrength, TransitionProbability, DampingConstant, and OscillatorStrength.

AirWavelength[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,wavelengtha} pairs, where wavelengthv is the wavelength in vacuum and wavelengtha is the wavelength in air for the resonance absorption lines produced by the specified element
LowerTermFineStructureEnergy[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,energy} pairs, where energy is the energy of the fine structure level in the lower term for the lines produced by the specified element
LowerStatisticalWeight[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,weight} pairs, where weight is the statistical weight of the lower level for the lines produced by the specified element
UpperStatisticalWeight[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,weight} pairs, where weight is the statistical weight of the upper level for the lines produced by the specified element
RelativeStrength[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,strength} pairs, where strength is the relative strength of the lines produced by the specified element
TransitionProbability[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,probability} pairs, where probability is the spontaneous transition probability of the lines produced by the specified element
DampingConstant[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,damping} pairs, where damping is a natural damping constant of the lines produced by the specified element
OscillatorStrength[element]give a list of {wavelengthv,strength} pairs, where strength is the absorption oscillator strength of the lines produced by the specified element

Properties of resonance absorption lines paired with associated wavelengths in vacuum.

This gives a list of pairs of vacuum wavelength and oscillator strength for the resonance absorption lines produced by beryllium.

The ionization level of an element can be specified by giving the quoted roman numeral, "I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", or "VI", as a second argument to a property function.

This gives the paired data for vacuum wavelength and oscillator strength for the lines produced by beryllium at the ionization level I.
WavelengthAbsorptionMap[wavelength1,wavelength2]give the absorption map in the wavelength range between wavelength1 and wavelength2
ElementAbsorptionMap[element]give the absorption map of the specified element
ElementAbsorptionMap[element,ionstage]give the absorption map of the element at the specified ionization level
