Description:
    This catalogue is an extension in the ultraviolet region (129 to 3903
    Angstroems) of the ILLSS catalogue (Coluzzi, 1993; catalog <VI/71>)
    which lists lines in the optical region. The data are from
    "Ultraviolet Multiplet Table" (Moore 1950, 1952, 1962) and arranged in
    two files: the catalogue and the references. There are two versions of
    each file, one presented in the author's original format, and the
    second organised as a table.

    The reference files are arranged by element: for each spectrum the
    first line contains within parenthesis the Ionization Potential; the
    grade of analysis; the grade denoting the relative number of
    classified lines included as compared with the total number classified
    in the ultraviolet; the date of completion of the manuscript; the
    limit for three spectra H, He I, He II. The limit in cm-1 has been
    multiplied by the factor 0.00012345 to obtain the tabulated ionisation
    potential, which is expressed in electron-Volts.

    The analysis grades range from A to E, grade A indicating that the
    analysis is essentially complete ,and grade E that the structure has
    been recognised, but is limited to a single multiplet or transition.
    List A, List B, etc., denote the relative numbers of classified lines
    listed here as compared with the total number classified in the
    ultraviolet, A denoting that all classified lines in the ultraviolet
    are listed, and D that only a few of the leading ones are tabulated.
    The letters on the left, A, B, C, etc. preceding the reference,
    indicate the source used for the wavelength quoted in the Table. Those
    papers used only for analysis or intensity follow the ones used for
    wavelength, and are not preceded by the letters denoting the source.

    The letters "WL", "I", "T", indicating what was taken from each paper
    for the Table compilation , denote, respectively, wavelength,
    intensity, and terms, the last referring to the analysis of the
    spectrum.

    These informations are taken from Moore (1950).

History:
  * 03-Apr-1996: First version
  * 28-Mar-1997: The Intens column which was stored as characters,
    have been transformed into a numeric intensity plus a remarks
    column at CDS (F. Ochsenbein). The very high value of 100000
    for the line at 1178.650Angstroems was then changed to 99999.
