Abstract

This handbook is designed to provide a selection of the most important and frequently used atomic spectroscopic data in an easily accessible format. The compilation includes data for the neutral and singly-ionized atoms of all elements hydrogen through einsteinium (Z=1-99). The wavelengths, intensities, and spectrum assignments are given in a table for each element, and data for the resulting total of some 12,000 lines for all elements are also collected into a single table, sorted by wavelength (a finding list).More complete data for a smaller umber of the most persistent lines of each spectrum are given in additional tables for each element. In addition to the wavelengths and intensities, the energy levels and transition probabilities (where available) are listed for a total of about 2,350 lines in these tables. We also give a separate table of energy level data for each spectrum which, although incomplete, includes levels additional to those involved in the persistent-line transitions.
