+This directory contains line lists which are used by IDENTIFY/REIDENTIFY.
+There may additional applications using these lists in the future.
+
+ LINE LISTS
+ (eg coordlist = linelists$henear.dat)
+
+ argon.dat - Vacuum wavelengths of the infrared emission lines of argon.
+ The second column lists relative intensities. The data
+ are from "Wavelength Standards in the Infrared", K.N. Rao
+ et al., 1966.
+ ctiohenear.dat - HENEAR list used at CTIO
+ ctiohear.dat - HEAR list used at CTIO
+ cuar.dat - A linelist for the built-in comparison source for the KPNO
+ Hydra instrument consisting of 6 CuAr hollow cathode
+ lamps. The identifications are from Coude Echelle
+ spectra and a list from AAO (Schinckel, Phillips, and
+ Hill). All wavelengths are from Norlen (Physica Scripta.
+ Vol 8, 249-268, 1973) except for a few CuI lines from
+ Striganov and Sventitskii (Tables of Spectral Lines of
+ Neutral and Ionized Atoms, 1968).
+ fear.dat - FeAr Hollow Cathode line list between 3,000A and 10,000A.
+ The reference for this line list is "A CCD Atlas of
+ Comparison Spectra: FeAr Hollow Cathode, 3000A - 10,000A"
+ by D. Willmarth. The atlas is available from the
+ KPNO User Support Office.
+ henear.dat - Selected list of HENEAR lines to be used for
+ KPNO IIDS/IRS reductions - this list is identical to
+ that in the KPNO mountain reduction software for these
+ instruments. Source of wavelengths: 1982 MIT
+ Wavelength Tables Vol. 2. Multiplet numbers from
+ Charlotte Moore's A Multiplet Table of Astrophysical
+ Interest 1972.
+ henearhres.dat - High resolution list of HENEAR lines covering the wavelength
+ range 3300A - 11,100A. See "A CCD Atlas of Comparison
+ Spectra: He-Ne-Ar, 3300A - 11,100A" by Daryl Willmarth,
+ April 1993.
+ idhenear.dat - Extended list of HENEAR lines for general use.
+ Source of wavelengths: 1982 MIT Wavelength Tables Vol. 2.
+ Multiplet numbers from Charlotte Moore's A Multiplet Table
+ of Astrophysical Interest 1972.
+ krypton.dat - Vacuum wavelengths of the infrared emission lines of krypton.
+ The second column lists relative intensities. The data
+ are from "Wavelength Standards in the Infrared", K.N. Rao
+ et al., 1966.
+lowskylines.dat - Rest (air) wavelengths of all the OH vibration-rotation
+ lines in the sky spectrum, useful for low dispersion
+ spectra - see "Sky Spectra at a Light-Polluted Site and
+ Wavelength Zero Points", Osterbrock and Martel, UCO/LO
+ Bulletin No. __ .
+ ohlines.dat - Vacuum wavelengths from calculations of Chamberlain
+ (lambda < 1.20microns) and laboratory observations of Hubbard
+ and Brault using the Solar FTS (lambda > 1.2microns).
+ The second column gives the observed intensity in kR
+ (Steed and Baker 1979, Appl. Opt., 18, 3386) of observed
+ atmospheric lines.
+ skylines.dat - Night sky lines from various sources compiled by Don
+ York. See file header for comments.
+ thar.dat - List of thorium-argon lines (3180 - 9665),
+ A CCD Atlas of Comparison Spectra: Thorium-Argon Hollow
+ Cathode 3180 A - 9665 A, revised Feb. 1992, Daryl Willmarth.
+vacidhenear.dat - The idhenear.dat list converted to vacuum wavelengths
+ using the equation: (n-1) x 10**8 = 8342.13 + 2406030
+ (130 - sigma**2)**-1 + 15997(38.9 - sigma**2)**-1
+ where sigma = 1/lambda(air) and air at T=15C, P=760mmHg, and
+ no water vapour. (See B. Edlen, 1966
+ Metrologia, Vol. 2, p. 71).
+ vacthar.dat - The thar.dat list converted to vacuum wavelengths
+ using the equation: (n-1) x 10**8 = 8342.13 + 2406030
+ (130 - sigma**2)**-1 + 15997(38.9 - sigma**2)**-1
+ where sigma = 1/lambda(air) and air at T=15C, P=760mmHg, and
+ no water vapour. (See B. Edlen, 1966
+ Metrologia, Vol. 2, p. 71).
+ xenon.dat - Vacuum wavelengths of the infrared emission lines of xenon.
+ The second column lists relative intensities. The data
+ are from "Wavelength Standards in the Infrared", K.N. Rao
+ et al., 1966.
+
+ thorium.dat - Obsolete and will disappear in the future. Use thar.dat.
+ vacthorium.dat - Obsolete and will disappear in the furture. Use vacthar.dat.
