Including all the lines
Abstract
I present a progress report on including all the lines in the line lists, including all the lines in the opacities, and including all the lines in the model atmosphere and spectrum synthesis calculations. The increased opacity will improve stellar atmosphere, pulsation, stellar interior, asteroseismology, nova, supernova, and other radiation-hydrodynamics calculations. I also report on producing high-resolution, high-signal-to-noise atlases for use in verifying the line data and spectrum calculations, and as tools for extending laboratory spectrum analyses to higher energy levels. All the data are available on my web site: kurucz.harvard.edu.
Résumé
Je présente un rapport des progrès faits pour inclure toutes les raies dans les listes de raies, incluant toutes les raies dans les opacités et incluant toutes les raies dans les calculs de modèle d’atmosphère et de synthèse de spectre. L’opacité accrue va améliorer les calculs d’atmosphère stellaire, de pulsation, d’intérieur stellaire, d’astérosismologie, de nova et de supernova, ainsi que ceux touchant les autres phénomènes de radiation-hydrodynamique. Je présente aussi un rapport sur la production d’atlas de haute résolution et de haut rapport signal sur bruit à être utilisés dans la vérification des données de raies et les calculs de spectres et comme outils pour étendre les analyses des spectres pris en laboratoire vers des niveaux plus hauts. Toutes les données sont disponibles sur mon site web : kurucz.harvard.edu.
