J/A+AS/105/77     Atomic data for  O VIII and Fe XVII           (Cornille+ 1994)
================================================================================

Abstract:
    The atomic data required to analyse low density coronal plasmas have been
    calculated and used to interpret X-ray spectra observed by the Flat Crystal
    Spectrometer of the SMM/NASA satellite in the 14-19 A wavelength range. The
    emission lines correspond mainly to Fe XVI, Fe XVII, Fe XVIII and some ones
    to O VII, O VIII.
