CHIANTI Version 6.0.1 Released !
CHIANTI 6.0.1 corrects an error in the calculation of the continuum
radiation for isothermal plasmas and a minor error in the calculation of the contribution
of recombination and ionization to the populaiton of excited levels, as well as a few
minor typos in the files of Cr VII, Mn VIII and Fe XVIII.
(see the history file )
CHIANTI Version 6 Released !
CHIANTI 6 includes a complete database of ionization and recombination
coefficients for the first 30 elements of the periodic table, as well as IDL programs to read
them. Other improvements concern He-like line emission, ionization equilibrium, and new or
revised data for ions emitting between 1 and 2000 Angstrom.
(see the history file )
Major features (Dere et al. 2009, A&A, 498, 915) in CHIANTI 6 are:
- inclusion of ionization and recombination rates
- new ionization equilibrium calculation
- improved calculation of He-like line intensities (X-rays )
- new data for Be-like and F-like sequences ( EUV )
- new data for Fe XVII to Fe XXIII (X-rays )
- new data for n=3 to n=3 N-like and O-like transitions (UV )
