Individual files can be fetched (via http) from here

This standardized document follows the rules of the Standard Description for Astronomical Catalogues. For those having to work on this catalogue using FORTRAN programs, this ReadMe file can be transformed into a f77-compliant program which reads the files making up this catalogue, in two versions: either a f77 program loading whole files into arrays, or a f77-program reading each data file line by line.

Description:
    This catalogue is a revised version of the Identification List of
    Lines in Stellar Spectra and now lists wavelength, spectrum,
    multiplet number, intensity, ionisation potential and stellar type
    reference for lines in the region 2951 to 13164 Angstroems.
    (This catalogue was announced as number III/171)

Note (1): The notation is the following: ' ' for observed line '*' for blend 'P' for predicted line 'F' for forbidden predicted line 'f' for forbidden line observed in the laboratory 'N' for nebular forbidden measured line 'L' for laboratory forbidden measured line 'A' for auroral forbidden measured line 'C' for coronal forbidden measured line '?' for which the element attribution is uncertain Note (2): the reference is relative to the Element ; the following notations are used: - A colon : indicates that the intensity is not the first or second choice. - The letters have the following meaning: 'd' double 'g' ghost 'l' shaded to longer wave-length 'n' diffuse or hazy 'm' line is masked by another line that belongs to the spectrum indicated (e.g. mTiI for line masked by a TiI line) 'N' very diffuse or very hazy 'p' part of band 'r' narrow self-reversal 'R' wide self-reversal 's' shaded to shorter wave-length 'sol' this predicted line of FeI is present in the solar spectrum 'sol?' the solar identification as FeI is subject to some question 'tr' trace 'w' wide(fine structure type),broad or complex 'W' very wide(fine structure type) or very broad However, the intensity is marked as '[????]' for the 2 records present in part II (Finding List) and not in part I (Table of Multiplets) of Moore catalogue: 10752.99 FeI (1352) and 10849.68 FeI (1352)

Historical Notes: * 31-Aug-1994: file prepared by Regina Coluzzi [Oss. Roma] * 04-Apr-1996: the table illss.dat was created from illss.cat at CDS (F. Ochsenbein) to allow its usage by a database. * 27-Mar-1997: transformed intensities into numeric column and remarks. at CDS (F. Ochsenbein) * 22-Aug-1999: tables elref.dat and refs.dat added from material kindly mailed by Regina Coluzzi [Oss. Roma]. The catalogue was slightly revised.
