Spectra emitted from ionized nebulae typically contain collisionally excited
and recombination lines, which can be used to trace physical conditions and
chemical abundances of the interstellar medium in our Galaxy and other
galaxies. “AtomNeb” is a database containing atomic data stored in the Flexible
Image Transport System (FITS) file format, including the data for collisionally
excited and recombination lines generally observed in nebular astrophysics. The
AtomNeb interface library is equipped with several application programming
interface (API) functions developed in the Interactive Data Language (IDL),
which can be also used in the GNU Data Language (GDL). This IDL library relies
on the FITS file related IDL procedures from the IDL Astronomy User’s library.
The AtomNeb IDL library, together with the “proEQUIB” IDL library, can be used
to perform plasma diagnostics and abundance analysis of emission lines from
ionized gaseous nebulae.
