Description:
We list 603 spectral lines between 1.0, 1.8um that are judged to be
relatively unblended from a visual inspection of spectra of the quiet
sun. Much of the atomic data of relevance to studies of solar and
stellar magnetism, convection and atmospheric structure are also
provided. Particular attention is paid to blending by telluric lines.
We determine the level of blending both in the presence and the
absence of telluric lines. We also describe how telluric blends may be
removed from spectra with high spectral resolution.

Note (1): Whenever possible λsun has been determined from the
Delbouille et al. (1981) atlas. If the line is too strongly blended
in their spectra, then we have obtained the wavelength from the
Livingston and Wallace 1991 or Wallace et al. 1993 spectra. All
values are only corrected for Doppler shift.
Note (2): When '*' the wavenumber of this line was taken from a purely solar
component of the Livingstone and Wallace (1991) spectral atlas due to
the too strong telluric blending of the line in the Delbouille et al.
(1981) spectral atlas.
Note (3): When 'a': In the Delbouille et al. (1981) atlas these lines look less
blended than the values given here, but according to the Wallace et
al. (1993) and the Livingstone and Wallace (1991) atlases the lines
are blended with a telluric line having almost the same wavelength,
so that the blends show no readily visible effects. When 'b' line is
blended according to Biemont et al. (1985a)
Note (4): When 'a': according to the available log(gf) this identification is
extremely unlikely. When 'b' : according to Biemont and Brault
(1987a,b) this line is a blend of different hyperfine components
Note (5): When '*' for this line no laboratory wavelength is available in the
above references therefore the calculated wavelength has been written
instead

Note (7): When '*' this transition involves a change in orbital angular
momentum DL>1, making the identification uncertain. Such
identifications are listed only where no other possible
identification is known.
! When '!' the order of the multiple line identifications represents
their probable contribution to the line (e.g. due to the huge
equivalent width of the primary identification, the secondary
(blend) probably provides only a very small contribution to the line).
a When 'a' this transition involves a change in total spin DS>1 making
the identification uncertain. Such identifications are listed only
where no other possible identification is known.
b When 'b' the sign of the Lande factor of Fe I 15611.151 A is
opposite to that expected from the observed Stokes V profile, so
that the identification is probably wrong.
c When 'c' Ni I 16673.715 A and Ni I 16996.271 A : the laboratory
wavelengths of both lines can be matched much better by the
calculated wavelengths of the transitions identified by Biemont
and Brault (1987b) if the 3d9 5p 1F3o level common to both lies at
48672.085±0.015 cm-1 (instead of 48671.9 cm-1 listed in Corliss
and Sugar, 1981)
d When 'd' due to the large equivalent width of the primary
identification, the secondary identification (blend) probably
contributes only a very minute amount to the line.
e When 'e' AlI 16750.614 A is blended with a telluric line of about
the same wavelength and is also distorted by the large hyperfine
splitting of the given transition (see Biemont and Brault 1987b).
Note (8): When '*' and 'a' for most transitions the LS coupling Lande factors
of the upper and lower levels are used to determine geff. For the
levels of the 3d6 4s 6D 4f configuration g values have been taken
from Johansson and Learner (1990). When 'a' according to Stokes
profile calculations by Muglach and Solanki (1992) the geff
values listed here are incompatible with the observed splittings
of these lines.
Note (9): If only gl or gu is available from laboratory measurements,
the missing atomic level Lande factor is assumed to be represented
by its LS coupling value.
Note (10): When 'a' the value was derived from Nave et al. (1994);
'b' from the compilation by Kurucz and Peytremann (1975);
'c' from Biemont et al. (1994);
'd' from Biemont, Grevesse (1973).
