This is a preliminary version of a document which will hopefully evolve into a useful SCIENCE HELP page. This is meant to be an easily accessed directory of science software and data products which are available in the high energy division, primarily those which are maintained by "volunteer" scientists. ... The idea is to make this a cooperative venture - this document can be edited by anyone on the HEAD network (/proj/qedros2/QEDT/www/Science_guide/science_guide.html). ... LOCATION: /soft/ciao . ...

The database contains references to the papers, data files and links to the Internet resources related to measurements and calculations of the optical constants in the wavelength interval from X-rays to radio domain. ... References to some useful books and reviews on the subject (e.g. the classical handbooks edited by E.D.Palik) and links to Internet collections of optical constants and personal WWW pages with related software were also placed in the database. You have arrived at our welcome page. ...

For calculating model spectra of early-type helium stars in LTE, we maintain a database of atomic data for, mostly, blue-visual absorption lines of light elements. The data is sorted with one file for each ion. ... III = ++ . ...
