Chianti—an atomic database for emission lines. xiii. soft x-ray improvements and other changes

TL;DR: The CHIANTI spectral code as mentioned in this paper consists of two parts: an atomic database and a suite of computer programs in Python and IDL, together, they allow the calculation of the optically thin spectrum of astrophysical objects and provide spectroscopic plasma diagnostics for the analysis of the astrophysical spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

CHIANTI - an atomic database for emission lines. IX. Ionization rates, recombination rates, ionization equilibria for the elements hydrogen through zinc and updated atomic data

TL;DR: The CHIANTI database as mentioned in this paper provides a set of atomic data for the interpretation of astrophysical spectra emitted by collisionally dominated, high temperature, optically thin sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

CHIANTI-An Atomic Database for Emission Lines. VII. New Data for X-Rays and Other Improvements

TL;DR: The CHIANTI atomic database as mentioned in this paper contains atomic energy levels, wavelengths, radiative transition probabilities, and collisional excitation data for a large number of ions of astrophysical interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

CHIANTI – An atomic database for emission lines. Version 8

TL;DR: This version of the CHIANTI database includes a large amount of new data and ions, which represent a significant improvement in the soft X-ray, EUV and UV spectral regions, which several space missions currently cover.
