Abstract:
We have recorded spectra of iron-neon and iron-argon hollow cathode
lamps in the region 1700A-5um (59,000-2000cm-1), with Fourier
transform (FT) spectrometers at the National Solar Observatory,
Tucson, Arizona, and Imperial College, London, UK, and with a
high-resolution grating spectrograph at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The uncertainty of
the strongest lines in the FT spectra is less than 0.002cm-1
(0.2mA at 3000A; 8mA at 2um). Pressure- and current-dependent shifts
are less than 0.001cm-1 for transitions between low-lying levels,
increasing to 0.006cm-1 for transitions between the most highly
excited levels. We report 28 new energy levels of Fe I and revised
values of another 818 levels. We have identified 9501 lines as due to
9759 transitions in Fe I, and these are presented in the form of a new
multiplet table and finding list. This compares with the ∼5500 lines
due to 467 energy levels in the multiplet tables of Moore (1950, NBS
Circ., No.488 and 1959, NBS Tech. note 30). The biggest increase is in
the near-ultraviolet and near infrared, and many of the new lines are
present in the solar spectrum. Experimental log (gf) values are
included where they are available. A further 125 unidentified lines
due to Fe I are given.

Note (1): Intensity in arbitrary units. These are given as log(I) to two
decimal places for FT spectra. Grating intensities are on a
different scale to the FT intensities, and are from the
continuous hollow cathode spectra, except those in parentheses,
which are from the pulsed hollow cathode. Symbols are:
d: diffuse; b: blended; *: unresolved; ?: questionable.
Note (2): Vacuum wavelength is derived from the measured wavenumber, Sigma.
Wavelengths measured in FT spectra are given to 4 decimal places
and those measured in grating spectra to 3 decimal places in the
UV. No grating spectra were recorded above 3250 A.
Note (3): Air wavelengths for all lines above 2000 A have been derived
from the wavenumbers using Edlen dispersion formula given as
equation 2 in the printed paper. See also note (2).
Note (4): Difference between observed wavelength and the Ritz wavelength
derived from the energy levels in table 1. This difference should
be subtracted from Lvac or Lair to obtain the Ritz wavelength.
Note (5): Wavenumbers measured in FT spectra are given to 3 decimal places
and those measured in grating spectra to 2 decimal places.
Note (6): Quality of measured wavenumber.
A: Uncertainty < 0.005 cm-1.
B: Uncertainty < 0.01 cm-1.
C: Uncertainty < 0.02 cm-1.
D: Uncertainty > 0.02 cm-1 or blended line
Wavelength uncertainties are given in table 3.
Note (7): Difference between observed wavenumber and the Ritz wavenumber
derived from the energy levels in table 1. This difference should
be subtracted from Sigma to obtain the Ritz wavenumber.
Note (8): Sources for log(gf) values are:
a: O'Brian et al., 1991, J. Opt. Soc. Am., B8, 1185

Note (9): Species of blended line:
I: Line blended with another Fe I transition
II: Line blended with Fe II transition
Ne: Line blended with Ne line
Ar: Line blended with Ar line
R: Line is self-reversed. Ritz wavelengths and wavenumber
are given.
M: Line is masked by another line of the given species.
