The CHIANTI project was originally set up by Dr. Ken Dere of the Naval
Research Laboratory (Washington, USA), Dr. Helen Mason of the Department of
Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of
Cambridge (UK), and Dr. Brunella Monsignori-Fossi of the Arcetri
Astrophysical Observatory (Florence, Italy).
Former students of Dr.
Monsignori-Fossi (Dr. Enrico Landi) and Dr. Mason (Dr. Peter Young) helped in
the creation of the database. The sad and unexpected death of Dr.
Monsignori-Fossi in January 1995, led to Prof. Massimo Landini, a close
associate of Dr. Monsignori-Fossi, becoming a new CHIANTI
representative (University of Florence).
Additional collaborations have involved Dr. Dave Pike of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), who has written CHIANTI routines to run within the environment of the SOHO/CDS software (and within SolarSoft), and with Dr. Gordon Bromage, Dr. Barbara Bromage and her former student Dr. Giulio Del Zanna of the University of Central Lancashire.
