The spectral absorption coefficients of neutral and singly ionized carbon nitrogen, and oxygen atoms a r e presented. The continuum contributions resulting from bound-free and free-free transitions a r e presented in terms of an effective cross section summed over all permissible initial and final states. These effective continuum cross sections a r e tabulated spectrally over a frequency range 0.25 eV 5 hv 5 20 eV for temperatures in the range 3,000"K to 24,000"K at 1,000"K intervals. The discrete, i. e. line. contributions resulting from bound-bound transitions a r e presented in terms of tabulations of absorption f-numbers for all significant transitions (multiplet, supermultiplet, and transition arrays). Electron impact (half) half-widths and line shifts for Lorentzian line shapes a r e tabulated for all significant transitions for temperatures in the range 2,500"K to 25,000"K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
