5.10. Linid

Linid is a utility for displaying spectral line lists without starting a full SPEX session. It can operate in two modes. In the first mode, it returns detailed information on the strongest transitions for a user-specified element and ionization stage. In the second mode, it lists all transitions within a user-defined energy interval.

For each transition, the tool provides the element, charge state, Rydberg state, empirical identifier, energy, wavelength, and transition probability.

Note

The current implementation includes all isoelectronic sequences from H-like down to B-like ions. It only contains K-shell transitions in the Rydberg series. For a complete list, please run a SPEX session.

5.10.1. Example

The first example is to list the Ne X Rydberg lines:

Atomic number and spectroscopic charge (e.g., 8 8 for O VIII), or E and dE in keV (1.0 0.1):
10 10

Next, to display all the recorded transitions in the 0.1 keV range around a central energy of 6.6 keV:

Atomic number and spectroscopic charge (e.g., 8 8 for O VIII), or E and dE in keV (1.0 0.1):
6.6 0.1
