CHIANTI and Other Codes

CHIANTI data are included (directly or indirectly) in many other spectral codes, such as:

• CLOUDY - A package for photoionized plasmas developed by G. Ferland and collaborators.

• MOCASSIN - A package for photoionized plasmas.

• XSTAR - A package developed at HEASARC/GSFC (USA) for calculating the physical conditions and emission spectra of photoionized gases.

• PINTofALE - A Package for Interactive Analysis of Line Emission, developed at CfA, Harvard-Smithsonian (USA)

• HAOS-DIPER - A Spectral Diagnostic Package developed by Philip Judge at HAO NCAR, Boulder, US (judge at ucar.edu)

• ATOMDB - APED (Astrophysical Plasma Emission Database) - An atomic database developed at the CfA, Harvard-Smithsonian (USA)

• XSPEC - An X-Ray Spectral Fitting Package developed at HEASARC/GSFC (USA).
  CHIANTI data have recently been used via APED. However, we will soon provide FITS files that can directly be used within XSPEC.

• Arcetri Spectral Code - Initially developed by Massimo Landini and Brunella Monsignori-Fossi in the 70s and continuously updated, this spectral code consists of tables of emissivity for line and continuum as a function of density and temperature in the 1-2000 Å. The emissivities are mostly calculated with CHIANTI data.
