Variability of the fine-structure constant
We have previously presented evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, {alpha}, in two independent samples of Keck/HIRES quasi-stellar object (QSO) absorption spectra.... -
SiVI atomic data and broadening effect
Energy levels, electric dipole transition probabilities and oscillator strengths in five times ionized silicon have been calculated in intermediate coupling. The present... -
FTS reference UV wavelengths of CrIII
We report CrIII ultraviolet (UV) transition wavelengths measured using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), for the first time, available for use as... -
FeIV energy levels & transition prob.
Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock electric quadrupole (E2) and magnetic dipole (M1) transition probabilities are reported for transitions between levels of 3d^5^ in [FeIV].... -
(De)excitation rates of ortho-NH3 and para-NH3
Ammonia inversion lines are often used as probes of the physical conditions in the dense ISM. The excitation temperature between the first two para metastable (rotational)... -
Stark broadening of PbIV spectral lines
Using a semi-empirical approach, we report in this paper calculated values of the Stark broadening parameters for 58 lines of PbIV. They were calculated using a set of... -
Lyman and Werner molecular hydrogen transitions
Molecular transitions recently discovered at redshift z_abs_=2.059 towards the bright background quasar J2123-0050 are analysed to limit cosmological variation in the... -
s-process in low-metallicity stars
A large sample of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars enriched in s-process elements (CEMP-s) have been observed in the Galactic halo. These stars of low mass (M~0.9M_{sun}_) are... -
H2O in interstellar shock waves
The dissipation of kinetic energy that occurs in interstellar shock waves is accompanied by the emission of radiation. In the case of shocks that are propagating into mainly... -
Methanol line formation in outflow sources
We report the first calculations of the spectrum of methanol, arising in shock waves in molecular outflows. The small grid of shock wave models that we have computed... -
Stark broadening of Sn III spectral lines
The determination of the Stark broadening parameters of Sn ions is useful for astrophysicists interested in the determination of the density of electrons in stellar atmospheres.... -
NLTE corrections for Mg and Ca lines
We investigate NLTE effects for magnesium and calcium in the atmospheres of late-type giant and supergiant stars. The aim of this paper is to provide a grid of NLTE/LTE... -
Modelling of shock waves molecular line emission
We have developed further the technique of time-dependent modelling of magnetohydrodynamic shock waves, with a view to interpreting the molecular line emission from outflow... -
ScII effective collision strengths
Accurate fine-structure atomic data for the Fe-peak elements are essential for interpreting astronomical spectra. There is a severe paucity of data available for ScII,... -
ExoMol line lists for BeH, MgH and CaH
Accurate line lists for three molecules, BeH, MgH and CaH, in their ground electronic states are presented. These line lists are suitable for temperatures relevant to... -

We describe the motivation, field locations and stellar selection for the Abundances and Radial velocity Galactic Origins Survey (ARGOS) spectroscopic survey of 28000 stars in... -
ExoMol line lists for SiO
Accurate rotation-vibration line lists are calculated for silicon monoxide. Line lists are presented for the main isotopologue, ^28^Si^16^O, and four monosubstituted... -
Electron impact for OV and OVI levels
Radiative atomic and electron impact excitation data for OV and OVI ions have been calculated. The radiative atomic data have been calculated with the AUTOSTRUCTURE code.... -
ExoMol line list for HCN and HNC
A revised rotation-vibration line list for the combined hydrogen cynanide (HCN)/hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) system is presented. The line list uses ab initio transition... -
FeI oscillator strengths for Gaia-ESO
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey (GES) is conducting a large-scale study of multi-element chemical abundances of some 100000 stars in the Milky Way with the ultimate aim...
