Stark Broadening of Several Ne II, Ne III and O III Spectral Lines for the Stark-B Database
Abstract
In order to complete Stark broadening data for Ne II and O III lines, needed for analysis of stellar atmospheres, we determined the missing parameters for the broadening by collisions with protons and ionized helium for 15 Ne II and 5 O III multiplets. Also, electron, proton and ionized helium impact broadening parameters for an important Ne II multiplet in the visible part of the spectrum and for three Ne III multiplets were calculated. The obtained data will be included in the STARK-B database, which is a part of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center.
