Atomic Spectroscopy - Sources of Spectroscopic Data & References

22.   Sources of Spectroscopic Data

A fairly comprehensive bibliographic review of compilations of data on atomic energy levels, wavelengths, transition probabilities, and spectral line shapes and shifts as available in 1991 is given in [39]. Access to most of the atomic spectroscopic databases currently online is given by links at the Plasma Gate server [40]. Extensive data from NIST compilations of atomic wavelengths, energy levels, and transition probabilities are available from the Atomic Spectra Database (ASD) at the NIST site (see [13]). Section 16 includes additional references for wavelength tables.
