Description:
    This catalogue is a revised version of the Identification List of
    Lines in Stellar Spectra and now lists wavelength, spectrum,
    multiplet number, intensity, ionisation potential and stellar type
    reference for lines in the region 2951 to 13164 Angstroems.
    (This catalogue was announced as number III/171)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): The notation is the following:
     ' ' for observed  line
     '*' for blend
     'P' for predicted line
     'F' for forbidden predicted line
     'f' for forbidden line observed in the laboratory
     'N' for nebular forbidden measured line
     'L' for laboratory forbidden measured line
     'A' for auroral forbidden measured line
     'C' for coronal forbidden measured line
     '?' for which the element attribution is uncertain
Note (2): the reference is relative to the Element ;
      the following notations are used:
     - A colon : indicates that the intensity is not the first or
       second choice.
     - The letters have the following meaning:
      'd'  double
      'g'  ghost
      'l'  shaded to longer wave-length
      'n'  diffuse or hazy
      'm'  line is masked by another line that belongs to the spectrum
           indicated (e.g. mTiI for line masked by a TiI line)
      'N'  very diffuse or very hazy
      'p'  part of band
      'r'  narrow self-reversal
      'R'  wide self-reversal
      's'  shaded to shorter wave-length
      'sol' this predicted line of FeI is present in the solar spectrum
      'sol?' the solar identification as FeI is subject to some question
      'tr' trace
      'w'  wide(fine structure type),broad or complex
      'W'  very wide(fine structure type) or very broad
      However, the intensity is marked as '[????]' for the 2 records
      present in part II (Finding List) and not in part I (Table of
      Multiplets) of Moore catalogue:
      10752.99   FeI  (1352)  and
      10849.68   FeI  (1352)

Historical Notes:
  * 31-Aug-1994: file prepared by Regina Coluzzi [Oss. Roma]
  * 04-Apr-1996: the table illss.dat was created from illss.cat at CDS
                 (F. Ochsenbein) to allow its usage by a database.
  * 27-Mar-1997: transformed intensities into numeric column and remarks.
                 at CDS (F. Ochsenbein)
  * 22-Aug-1999: tables elref.dat and refs.dat added from material kindly
                 mailed by Regina Coluzzi [Oss. Roma].
                 The catalogue was slightly revised.
