Description:
   In order to give a ground for current works on the physics of formation of 
   lines of FeII and of other similar ions in the spectra of astrophysical 
   objects, an extensive Catalogue of all the articles published on the matter 
   until June 1986 is given. Many articles published after that date are also 
   included in the Catalogue. All the articles are arranged in three tables by 
   alphabetical and chronological order, by physical subject and by astro-
   physical category. 

Introduction:
   The FeII Problem has since long attracted the interest of many researchers. 
   Lines of singly ionized iron are present in absorption or in emission in the
   spectrum of many different categories of astrophysical objects, from the 
   Sun, to early and late stars, diffuse nebulae and distant galaxies. Their 
   presence is frequently an evidence of non thermal equilibrium phenomena. A 
   large number of works have been so far devoted to the study of the FeII 
   problem, although many of the oldest ones are only of historical interest. 
   In recent years, the beginning of the space ultraviolet era, the rapid 
   development of new observational techniques, as well as the new laboratory 
   works on FeII and the extensive use of large computers for theoretical re- 
   search, has stimulated a renewed interest in the field and the number of 
   current works is rapidly increasing. Recently, an entire IAU Colloquium was 
   organized on the "Physics of Formation of FeII Lines Outside LTE" (Viotti 
   et al. 1988).         

   The aim of this Catalogue is to collect all, or nearly all, the titles of 
   the articles related to the problem of FeII line formation and to the basic 
   physics concerned the problem. The Catalogue in its earlier version (Viotti 
   and Baratta 1988) included all the articles published until June 1986, i.e. 
   before the IAU Colloquium No.94 held in Capri, on the occasion of which this
   work has been undertaken. This is an updated version which also includes 
   more recent articles.

Note on text:
   References to articles are arranged by physical subject (beginning with 
     record 4), and by astrophysical categories (beginning with record 443).

   The following subjects and categories have been considered. (Note that for 
   practical reasons, round brackets instead of square brackets were used to 
   indicate forbidden transitions.)

   Subjects:
   - Atomic data (levels, gf-values, collision strengths, etc.)     
   - Physical processes (excitation, including selective excitation processes, 
       ionization and recombination)         
   - Data analysis (excitation temperature, curve of growth, self absorption 
       curves)                      
   - Model (theoretical models of the line formation region)      
   - Spectral synthesis                         
   - Observation of FeII, (FeII) lines:                 
      - line identification                      
      - line intensity                        
      - line profiles, including broad emission            
   - (FeII) absorption lines                      
   - Other atomic species (FeI, FeIII to FeVII, Co, Ni, etc.)     
   - General (review articles, catalogues, surveys)           
                                    
   Astrophysical Categories:
   - The Sun (photosphere, chromosphere)                
   - Stars, late (G-type or later, T Tau and Mira variables, etc.)    
   - Stars, early (F-type or earlier, Ae, Be)              
   - Stars, Luminous Blue Variables (LBV = P Cyg, S Dor, Hubble-Sandage 
       variables)
   - Stars, variables (binaries, symbiotic stars,VV Cep and R CrB variables, 
       novae)
   - Diffuse matter (Herbig-Haro objects, supernovae, SNR, diffuse nebulae, 
       interstellar matter)
   - Extragalactic astronomy (normal galaxies, active galactic nuclei).
