I'd like to know the a values of the collision strengths used by Cloudy 07. The particular lines in question are [S II] 6716,6731, but it would be nice to know...
Hi Dick, in Cloudy's source directory there's a perl script named doc_atomic_data.pl If you run it, it produces a file named doc_atomic_data_refer.txt which...
Hi, I've used svn to download the latest version of Cloudy, and it does not include path.cpp (but in the tarball it is included). Also, it would maybe be worth...
Hi Valentina, Sounds like you inadvertently picked up the bleeding edge development version. The file path.cpp has indeed been removed there. The relevent code...
I used the command svn checkout https://cloud9.pa.uky.edu/svn/cloudy/trunk mentioned at https://cloud9.pa.uky.edu/trac/cloudy/wiki/DownLoad I see now that it...
Hi Valentina, After you switched to the release version, you will be able to find the file line_labels.txt in the docs directory. It needs to be regenerated...
Hi - Thought I'd repost this message originally sent on 7/24, since there has been no reply to date: Hi folks. I note that you've included an update to the...
Hi Valentina it looks like this problem is sorted out, but it could have led to a more serious problem had it not been for the path.cpp issue. You were ...
I think the PDF file posted with the c08.02.01 revision answers the first question. a punch fits command has been part of the test suite for some time. it...
the link given in the initial post included the date of the version. The list of errata has been updated to a new version. It is not possible to change the...
some of these questions are answered in the documentation for the punch fine continuum command, and recent changes are documented in the addenda for the...
Hi Gary, I simply followed the 'Downloads/Get the current stable version here/ Download' link on the web page, skim read through the different options, decided...
I had been having a problem getting mtable FITS files generated by Cloudy for use as absorption models in XSPEC to fit correctly, and I wanted to pass on to...
Could you tell me whether the inner-shell soft X-ray absorption lines as tabulated in Behar and Netzer (2002, ApJ, 570, 165-170) are included in: (1) your...
Hello, It is my understanding that the atomic data for Zn is particularly bad, especially the dielectric recombination rates. How uncertain are the atomic data...
Hi Joe, recombination should be dominated by dielectronic recombination and charge transfer. Kingdon and I did CT Landau-Zenner rates more than ten years ago....
A paper by M.F. Gu (2004, ApJS, 153, 389) has dielectronic recombination rates for Na-like ions from Mg+ to Zn+20, so only a few low/intermediate ion...
... this is all in, but using rates from the Badnell web site. You can view the cloudy revision history on the nublado site and see where the DR rates are...
Hello, I looked the recombination rates as you mentioned, I have a couple of questions. I attached some of the output below. First, if I'm reading the output...
DR rates depend on the exact location of autoionizing resonances. These do not vary smoothly with charge Z, causing the effects you see. The process is...
Dear Ryan, just to let you know that I found out the error in my simulation. The "abrupt jump" I was finding in my previous simulation was not normal at all....
Thanks for pointing this out. I had originally intended to allow this as a command line option but never got around to it. Without that option, yes, linear...
Hi, I am producing with Cloudy 07.02.01 some fits tables to be used as XSPEC models. The spectrum to be fitted is dominated by absorption lines produced in an...
