Alex Markowitz' Line List

From Remeis-Wiki

Alex Markowitz has compiled an [VG: extremely useful in my opinion] list of lines that can be encountered in AGN here:

http://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/~markowitz/alllines.html

Some remarks from Alex: the line list is poorly documented. And "There are a lot of lines, and for most of what we AGN people do, the neutral, He-like and H-like transitions are the usual suspects."

-- please use the list only as reference and check (back with Alex and on your own) the exact line energies.

Some of Natalie's remarks: The transition energies you list have "only" 1eV accuracy - this will be a problem if you are working with grating or calorimeter resolution and want exact line shift. It is good enough for CCD resolution spectra, though. The Fe XXV w absorption/emission should not be two lines -- this is likely due to different literature references.
