line
arrowIdentify
The "Identify" command selects all emission lines within a selected wavelength range that have peak emissivities (assuming solar abundances) greater than a set value. The green boxes are required and the blue boxes are optional.

Mininum Emissivity photons cm3/s (default=1.e-18, min=1.e-20, max=1.0)
   

line
arrowDescribe
The "describe" command lists all available data about a given atomic transition, including the upper and lower levels, the observed and theoretical wavelengths, and the radiative transition rates. ADS Bibcodes are also listed for the original sources of the data.

Element Z (1 - 28)
Ion (neutral=1) (1 - Element Z above)
Lower Energy Level (1 - 30000)
Upper Energy Level (1 - 30000)
   

line
arrowStrong
The "strong" command selects all emission lines within a selected wavelength range that have emissivities (assuming solar abundances) greater than a set value at the given temperature. The output emissivity value is approximate, and should not be used except as an estimate. The green boxes are required and the blue boxes are optional.
