PROJECT: CHIANTI
CHIANTI is an Atomic Database Package for Spectroscopic Diagnostics of
Astrophysical Plasmas. It is a collaborative project involving the Naval
Research Laboratory (USA), the University of Florence (Italy), the
University of Cambridge and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK).
NAME
KARZAS_XS()
EXPLANATION
Outputs the photoionization cross-section at the wavelengths WVL for
ionization of an N,L electron with ionization energy IONIZ_EN,
calculated using the Karzas & Latter (ApJS 6, 167, 1961) formulation.
The bound-free gaunt factor is derived from the tables of Karzas &
Latter.
INPUTS
WVL Wavelengths (in angstroms) for which cross-sections are
required (1-D array).
N Principal quantum number of the electron being removed in the
ionization.
L The orbital angular momentum of the electron being removed in the
ionization.
IONIZ_EN The ionization energy (in cm^-1) of the electron being
removed.
OPTIONAL INPUTS
PE Allows the PE array from READ_KLGFB to be directly input to
KARZAS_XS thus avoiding the need to read the K&L data
repeatedly for many ions. Requires KLGFB to also be input.
KLGFB Allows the KLGFB array from READ_KLGFB to be directly input to
KARZAS_XS thus avoiding the need to read the K&L data
repeatedly for many ions. Requires PE to also be input.
OUTPUT
The photoionization cross-section for the ionization of the outer
electron in units of mega-barns (Mb = 10^-18 cm^2) at the input
wavelengths. E.g., for Fe XIII (ground configuration
1s2.2s2.2p6.3s2.3p2) it is the cross-section for the removal of the
3p electron.
