Abstract:
The machine-readable version of "A Multiplet Table for MnI" contains
data on excitation potentials, J values, multiplet terms, intensities
of the transitions, and multiplet numbers. Files ordered by multiplet
and by wavelength are included.
Introduction:
A Multiplet Table for Mn I was prepared by first calculating all
possible transitions consistent with a change in J of 0, -1, and +1
from the atomic energy levels of Mn I (Corliss and Sugar 1977). The
transitions selected for inclusion were observed lines from Cataln,
Meggers, and Garcia-Riquelme (1964), Brown and Ginter (1978), and
Baig, Connerade, and Newson (1979). Also included were predicted lines
to complete multiplets in which one or more lines were seen by Cataln
et al. (1964) and predicted multiplets contained in Kurucz and
Peytremann (1975). These predicted transitions satisfy L-S coupling
rules.
Users should consult the source publication and the references to the
original work that are cited in the bibliography at the end of this
document for additional details.

Summary Description of Catalog Files:
The record format of the multiplet table is identical in both files 1
and 2 except for the sorting order. The form is similar to that of A
Multiplet Table of Astrophysical Interest and An Ultraviolet Multiplet
Table. The older multiplet numbers were retained whenever possible. New
multiplet numbers begin with 61, while multiplet 12 contains lines from
old multiplets 9, 10, and 13; UV 25 from old multiplet UV 26; UV 24 from
old multiplet UV 28; and UV 37 from old multiplet UV 38.
For unclassified lines, the only information given is contained in the
first 19 bytes of each record (bytes 20 through 80 are blank).
Therefore, it is safest to buffer in records in an unformatted mode or
read them with character (A) formats and test for blank data fields
before processing with numerical formats for calculations and/or search
purposes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on lambda:
Wavelength of the transition. They are in air except shortward of 0.2
mu, where they are in vacuum. Note that the precision varies (the last
two bytes can be blank).
Note on Ref: The reference codes are as follows:
A = Catalaen et al. (1964, J. Res. Nat. Bur. Stand. 68A, 9)
B = Based on gf values of Kurucz and Peytremann (1975) using values of
Catalaen et al. (1964) as a guide for lines of similar excitation
potential
C = Brown and Ginter (1978i, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 68, 1541), but divided by 10
D = Baig et al. (1979, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A, 367, 381)
P = Predicted line
Users are advised to check the quality of each analysis from which the
tables were assembled if uncertainties in identifications are
encountered.
Note on Int, n_Int:
This data field is divided into several uniform parts, the wide spacing
being required to isolate the various segments of the field. Thus, it is
possible to read the numerical intensities by using the format
specification (F6.1,A5) because character data are, in all cases,
separate from the numerical intensities. Note, however, that a numerical
intensity may be zero or blank. Also note that decimal points have been
added to integer intensities so that the numerical field is always
either a real number of blank. Parentheses in bytes 20 (left) and 32
(right) are used to indicate intensity scale changes and an asterisk (*)
in byte 33 denotes that an intensity is affected by that of a
neighboring, or impurity, line. Although numerical intensities may be
read and tested upon or sorted, the overall data field must be
considered for correct interpretation.
Note on Elow, Ehigh:
All limits and energy levels given in inverse centimeters have been
multiplied by the factor 0.000123981 to obtain the respective values in
electron volts (see Moore 1965).
Note on Jlow:
Value corresponding to the low level involved in the transition
producing the line.
Note on Jhigh:
Value for high level. There is no specific secondary order of J values
in the wavelength-ordered file when multiplet lines at an identical
wavelength occur; i.e., no secondary sorts were attempted beyond that on
wavelength, since there is no rational way to order the lines beyond
wavelength.
Note on Tlow, Thigh:
Term designations from the source material, without the J values
attached to them. The complete upper state designations from Brown and
Ginter (1978) and Baig et al. (1979) are not given for lack of space,
and some multiplets represent lines with unclassified upper states
grouped together for convenience. These include many multiplets between
UV 2.88 and UV 2.343.
Note on Rem:
The following codes are employed:
A = Indicates a change from Catalaen et al. (1964), e.g., by the
inclusion of additional lines of the same wavelength and differing J
values, and where the upper limit term has been changed.
B = Major component.
Note on UV:
The letters UV when a multiplet occurs shortward of 0.3 microns (stated
in Moore 1965). However, multiplets having wavelength < 0.3 microns
occur without the prefix and a few multiplets just longward of 0.3
microns contain the prefix.
Note on mult:
Older multiplet numbers, as used in RMT and UMT, are used wherever
possible. New multiplet numbers begin with 61. Note that the dual
numbering system described by Moore (1965) (see p. vii) is used in
principle, but that decimal points have been added to the integers so
that all numbers are uniform in format.
Note on fl:
The letter F indicates a forbidden transition.
Note on Seq:
The multiplet-ordered table was assigned a sequential numbering to
provide an independent means of ordering the table. This was done
because if the multiplet table is disordered, it is virtually impossible
(at least we couldn't find a way) to reorder it by machine sorting. The
sequential numbers are, of course, retained in the wavelength-ordered
table to indicate where the lines are located in the multiplet table.

History:
The data were compiled and computerized by S. J. Adelman, G. F.
Svatek, and K. Van Winkler with financial support from The Citadel
Development Foundation. A complex coding system was used in the
original file to indicate upper and lower case letters in the
intensity field, blended lines (* in intensity field), changes from
Catalaen et al. (1964) in combination with other codes, and other
combinations of individual codes. The format and coding system were
extensively revised by W. H. Warren Jr. at the Astronomical Data
Center in order to prepare a uniform file fully processable by
machine, to replace all upper case characters by lower case where
appropriate, to insert parentheses and asterisks, and to duplicate the
format used in an earlier finding list for the NSRDS-NBS3 multiplet
tables prepared by Adelman et al. (1985) to the extent possible. The
complete table was sorted various ways to detect errors and was
proofread in sections by S. J. Adelman. The final multiplet-ordered
table was sorted by computer to produce the wavelength-ordered table.
The original Script file was translated to ASCII and put into the
current standard from by the undersigned.
