Abstract:
Atomic Spectral Lines Data O II, Mg I-XII, Al I-XIII, S I-XVI, Sc I-XXI.
Using recent critical compilations of atomic energy levels, the
authors calculate wavelengths (or wave numbers) from the differences of
the energy levels. Results are given along with the observed values
for all classified lines. Unless otherwise noted, the calculated values
are in general more accurate than the observed values wherever the
two values differ significantly. Some observed lines are classified as
unresolved blends of two or more transitions. The calculated wavelength
for each of the main components of such a blend is listed, or in some
cases the calculated wavelength of the probable strongest component.

Note to Element:
Atomic symbol of atomic element
Note to Ion:
Stage of ionization or spectrum number. The spectrum numbers are "1"
for Roman I (neutral atom), etc.
Note to Mult_No:
The Multiplet Table Number Refers to Multiplet Tables by Charlotte Moore
(i.e., UV10).
Note to Intens:
Relative Intensity (i.e, 1500g,a). The numbers are usually visual
estimates related in some way to plate blackening. Some authors limit
these estimates to a small range (e.g., 1 to 10) while others reach
into the 100,000's. Such numbers are useful within a small wavelength
range and are meaningful only for comparing lines of a particular
spectrum taken from a particular reference. More meaningful relative
intensities obtained with photoelectric or solid-state detectors are
given by some authors, especially in the infrared region. In some
cases the originally published intensities have been adjusted in
particular regions to reduce apparent discrepancies between different
observers, etc. Kelly (1987) adjusted the various intensity scales of
the original observers to a normalized scale having a maximum
intensity of 1000. For some spectra, Kelly's adjusted intensities have
been given for some or all of the lines below 2000 A. The following
symbols further characterize the lines:
M1,M2,E2, ... : magnetic-dipole, magnetic-quadrupole, electric-
quadrupole, ... transition
bl: blended with another line that may affect the wavelength and
intensity.
m : masked by another line (no wavelength measurement)
d : diffuse, wide, hazy, etc.
g : transition involving a level of the ground term.
a : observed in absorption.
w :
? :
Note to Code:
Typesetting Code.
The braces are used for denoting multiply-classified lines or other
groupings:
{ = suppress observed value, intensity and reference
} = suppress lower and upper levels and designations
C = used when there are only calculated values, and signals
suppression of the observed line values.
Note to Obs_Wave, CalcWave:
Observed Wavelength. Wavelengths in vacuum are given for values below
2000 Angstroms, wavelengths in air for the region 2000-10,000 Angstroms.
In the infrared region longer than 10,000 Angstroms vacuum wave numbers
are used (instead of wavelengths in air). Wavelengths are in increasing
order, vacuum wave numbers in decreasing order.
? : a question mark following the calculated wavelength indicates
that the energy level classification of the line is questionable.
Note to Suf_ELo, Suf_EUp:
+, x, X : uncertainty
] : calculated value
? : A question mark following the upper level indicates the
classification is tentative.
Note to NIST_ref:
References for observed wavelengths (i.e, r1,s1), see the published
paper.

There are twenty-two fields for each spectral line. Each text field is in
columnar format and is left-justified. The numeric fields (F format)
are right justified.
Modifications:
The fields for wavelength, wave and energy level from the original
data file were aligned on the dot. Excessive blanks were removed.
