Hello chandra-users,
# ATOMDB 2.0
Version 2.0 of the atomic database (ATOMDB) has recently been released:
http://www.atomdb.org/download.php
ATOMDB is an atomic database useful for X-ray plasma spectral modeling.
The current version of ATOMDB is primarily used for modeling collisional
plasmas, those where hot electrons colliding with astrophysically
abundant elements and ions create X-ray emission. However, ATOMDB is
also useful when modeling absorption by elements and ions or even
photoionized plasmas, where X-ray photons (often from a simple power-law
source) interacting with elements and ions create complex spectra.
How to use ATOMDB 2.0 in XSPEC, Sherpa, or ISIS:

# WebGUIDE: online access to ATOMDB
There is also an online interface to ATOMDB, called WebGUIDE:
http://www.atomdb.org/Webguide/webguide.php
Note the new URL! WebGUIDE provides interactive line lists and data
from ATOMDB, which users may find helpful during Chandra proposal planning.
