NIST Atomic Spectra

NIST's Atomic Spectroscopy Data Center maintains several online databases on atomic spectroscopy. These databases can be accessed via the physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData web page. Our main database, Atomic Spectra Database (ASD), recently upgraded to v. 5.1, now contains critically evaluated data for about 215,000 spectral lines and 107,000 energy levels of almost all elements in the periodic table.

This new version has added several thousand spectral lines and energy levels of Ca III, Mn II, Fe II, Co II, Ag II, and In II. Most of these additions contain critically evaluated transition probabilities important for astrophysics, technology, and fusion research. The ASD tables of ground states and ionization energies of all elements up to Ds (Z = 110) in all ionization stages are currently being re-evaluated, updated, and extended with results of our new relativistic calculations.
