A critical review of the available experimental data on Stark widths and shifts for spectral lines of nonhydrogenic neutral atoms and positive ions has been carried out. The review covers the period from 1989 through the end of 2000 and represents a continuation of earlier critical reviews up to 1988. Data tables containing the selected experimental Stark broadening parameters are presented with estimated accuracies. Guidelines for the accuracy estimates, developed during the previous reviews, are summarized again. The data are arranged according to elements and spectra, and these are presented in alphabetical and numerical order, respectively. A total of 77 spectra are covered, and the material on multiply charged ions has significantly increased. Comparisons with comprehensive calculations based on semiclassical theory are made whenever possible, since the comparison with theory has often been a principal motivation for the experiments.

We have carried out a new, expanded tabulation of the atomic transition probabilities for allowed and forbidden lines of Fe I and Fe II, based on the critical evaluation of all available literature sources. The compiled data are taken mainly from recent experimental and theoretical results that became available after the publication of our first compilation in 1988. The data are arranged in multiplet format and are ordered according to increasing excitation energies.

Atomic transition probabilities for about 1500 allowed spectral lines of the elements scandium and titanium through all stages of ionization have been critically evaluated and compiled. All available literature sources have been utilized. The data are presented in separable tables for each element and stage of ionization and are arranged according to multiplets and, when appropriate, also to transition arrays and increasing quantum numbers. For each line the transition probability for spontaneous emission, the absorption oscillator strength, and the line strength are given along with the spectroscopic designation, the wavelength, the statistical weights, and the energy levels (when available) of the upper and lower atomic states. In addition the estimated accuracy and the literature reference is indicated. In short introduction, which precede the tables for each spectrum, the main justifications for the choice of the adopted data and for the accuracy rating are discussed. A general introduction contains some more details on our evaluation procedure.

We have carried out a comprehensive tabulation of the atomic transition probabilities for allowed and forbidden lines of hydrogen, helium and lithium, including Li II, as well as the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. Altogether, we tabulated about 3600 transitions and listed scaling relations for the hydrogenlike ions He II and Li III. The selected data are based on a critical evaluation of available literature sources and are all taken from recent advanced calculations. The tables are normally arranged in multiplets, and these are ordered in increasing excitation energies. For hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium, the energy levels are degenerate, i.e., all energy levels of the same principal quantum number essentially coincide. Thus, the principal tables for these species are for the average transition probabilities of lines between different principal quantum numbers. © 2009 by the U. S.
