The 2017 Release of Cloudy
G. J. Ferland, M. Chatzikos, F. Guzmán +8
We describe the 2017 release of the spectral synthesis code Cloudy. A major development since the previous release has been exporting the atomic data into external data files. This…
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…
Implications of Coronal Line Emission in NGC 4696
M. Chatzikos, R. J. R. Williams, G. J. Ferland +7
We announce a new facility in the spectral code CLOUDY that enables tracking the evolution of a cooling parcel of gas with time. For gas cooling from temperatures relevant to galax…
Accurate determination of the free-free Gaunt factor; I - non-relativistic Gaunt factors
P. A. M. van Hoof, R. J. R. Williams, K. Volk +5
Modern spectral synthesis codes need the thermally averaged free-free Gaunt factor defined over a very wide range of parameter space in order to produce an accurate prediction for…
