The acquired high-resolution spectra from Chandra
and XMM-Newton
|
|
|
gratings need to be matched with equally
high-quality atomic data.
|
|
|
v |
For x-ray collisional plasmas, most of the
atomic data are satisfactory,
|
|
|
allowing for high precision measurements of EM
structures, abundances,
|
|
|
densities, and UV effects.

PLEASE USE SPECIAL CAUTION with 2p-3s LINE
INTENSITIES,
|
|
|
NON-Fe L-SHELL IONS, and the IONIZATION BALANCE.
|
|
|
v |
For x-ray photoionized plasmas, atomic data
allow for sound measurements
|
|
of outflow velocities, temperatures, column
densities, and abundances.
|
|
v |
PLEASE USE SPECIAL CAUTION with
|
|
|
INNER-SHELL LINE WAVELENGTHS (especially low-Z),
|
|
|
the IONIZATION BALANCE (density & location),
|
|
|
and FLUORESCENCE YIELDS.
