Stout: Cloudy's Atomic and Molecular Database
M. L. Lykins, G. J. Ferland, R. Kisielius +6
We describe a new atomic and molecular database we developed for use in the spectral synthesis code Cloudy. The design of Stout is driven by the data needs of Cloudy, which simulat…
Atomic data for Zn II - Improving Spectral Diagnostics of Chemical Evolution in High-redshift Galaxies
Romas Kisielius, Varsha P. Kulkarni, Gary J. Ferland +3
Damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) and sub-DLA absorbers in quasar spectra provide the most sensitive tools for measuring element abundances of distant galaxies. Estimation of abundances fro…
Accurate determination of the free-free Gaunt factor. II - relativistic Gaunt factors
P. A. M. van Hoof, G. J. Ferland, R. J. R. Williams +4
When modelling an ionised plasma, all spectral synthesis codes need the thermally averaged free-free Gaunt factor defined over a very wide range of parameter space in order to prod…
The 2013 Release of Cloudy
G. J. Ferland, R. L. Porter, P. A. M. van Hoof +6
This is a summary of the 2013 release of the plasma simulation code Cloudy. Cloudy models the ionization, chemical, and thermal state of material that may be exposed to an external…
