Description:
In order to give a ground for current works on the physics of
formation of lines of FeII and of other similar ions in the spectra
of astrophysical objects, an extensive Catalogue of all the articles
published on the matter until June 1986 is given. Many articles
published after that date are also included in the Catalogue. All
the articles are arranged in three tables by alphabetical and
chronological order, by physical subject and by astro- physical
category.
Introduction:
The FeII Problem has since long attracted the interest of many
researchers. Lines of singly ionized iron are present in absorption
or in emission in the spectrum of many different categories of
astrophysical objects, from the Sun, to early and late stars, diffuse
nebulae and distant galaxies. Their presence is frequently an evidence
of non thermal equilibrium phenomena. A large number of works have
been so far devoted to the study of the FeII problem, although many of
the oldest ones are only of historical interest. In recent years, the
beginning of the space ultraviolet era, the rapid development of new
observational techniques, as well as the new laboratory works on FeII
and the extensive use of large computers for theoretical re- search,
has stimulated a renewed interest in the field and the number of
current works is rapidly increasing. Recently, an entire IAU
Colloquium was organized on the "Physics of Formation of FeII Lines
Outside LTE" (Viotti et al. 1988, IAU Colloquium No.94, D. Reidel
Publ. Co., Dordrecht).
The aim of this Catalogue is to collect all, or nearly all, the titles
of the articles related to the problem of FeII line formation and to
the basic physics concerned the problem. The Catalogue in its earlier
version (Viotti and Baratta 1988) included all the articles published
until June 1986, i.e. before the IAU Colloquium No.94 held in Capri,
on the occasion of which this work has been undertaken. This is an
updated version which also includes more recent articles.

Full references to articles are arranged in alphabetical (by author)
and chronological order. Keywords from the subject and category lists
(see notes for subindex.dat) are included after each reference.
Description of file: subindex.txt
References to articles are arranged by physical subject (beginning
with record 4), and by astrophysical categories (beginning with record
443).
The following subjects and categories have been considered. (Note that
for practical reasons, round brackets instead of square brackets were
used to indicate forbidden transitions.)
Subjects:
- Atomic data (levels, gf-values, collision strengths, etc.)
- Physical processes (excitation, including selective excitation processes,
ionization and recombination)
- Data analysis (excitation temperature, curve of growth, self absorption
curves)
- Model (theoretical models of the line formation region)
- Spectral synthesis
- Observation of FeII, (FeII) lines:
- line identification
- line intensity
- line profiles, including broad emission
- (FeII) absorption lines
- Other atomic species (FeI, FeIII to FeVII, Co, Ni, etc.)
- General (review articles, catalogues, surveys)
Astrophysical Categories:
- The Sun (photosphere, chromosphere)
- Stars, late (G-type or later, T Tau and Mira variables, etc.)
- Stars, early (F-type or earlier, Ae, Be)
- Stars, Luminous Blue Variables (LBV = P Cyg, S Dor, Hubble-Sandage
variables)
- Stars, variables (binaries, symbiotic stars,VV Cep and R CrB variables,
novae)
- Diffuse matter (Herbig-Haro objects, supernovae, SNR, diffuse nebulae,
interstellar matter)
- Extragalactic astronomy (normal galaxies, active galactic nuclei).
