Description:
    We list 603 spectral lines between 1.0, 1.8um that are judged to be
    relatively unblended from a visual inspection of spectra of the quiet
    sun. Much of the atomic data of relevance to studies of solar and
    stellar magnetism, convection and atmospheric structure are also
    provided. Particular attention is paid to blending by telluric lines.
    We determine the level of blending both in the presence and the
    absence of telluric lines. We also describe how telluric blends may be
    removed from spectra with high spectral resolution.

Note (1): Whenever possible {lambda}_sun_ has been determined from the
          Delbouille et al. (1981) atlas. If the line is too strongly blended
          in their spectra, then we have obtained the wavelength from the
          Livingston and Wallace 1991 or Wallace et al. 1993 spectra. All
          values are only corrected for Doppler shift.
Note (2): When '*' the wavenumber of this line was taken from a purely solar
          component of the Livingstone and Wallace (1991) spectral atlas due to
          the too strong telluric blending of the line in the Delbouille et al.
          (1981) spectral atlas.
Note (3): When 'a': In the Delbouille et al. (1981) atlas these lines look less
          blended than the values given here, but according to the Wallace et
          al. (1993) and the Livingstone and Wallace (1991) atlases the lines
          are blended with a telluric line having almost the same wavelength,
          so that the blends show no readily visible effects. When 'b' line is
          blended according to Biemont et al. (1985a)
Note (4): When 'a': according to the available log(gf) this identification is
          extremely unlikely. When 'b' : according to Biemont and Brault
          (1987a,b) this line is a blend of different hyperfine components
Note (5): When '*' for this line no laboratory wavelength is available in the
          above references therefore the calculated wavelength has been written
          instead

Note (7): When '*' this transition involves a change in orbital angular
          momentum DL>1, making the identification uncertain. Such
          identifications are listed only where no other possible
          identification is known.
          ! When '!' the order of the multiple line identifications represents
            their probable contribution to the line (e.g. due to the huge
            equivalent width of the primary identification, the secondary
          (blend) probably provides only a very small contribution to the line).
          a When 'a' this transition involves a change in total spin DS>1 making
            the identification uncertain. Such identifications are listed only
            where no other possible identification is known.
          b When 'b' the sign of the Lande factor of Fe I 15611.151 A is
            opposite to that expected from the observed Stokes V profile, so
            that the identification is probably wrong.
          c When 'c' Ni I 16673.715 A and Ni I 16996.271 A : the laboratory
            wavelengths of both lines can be matched much better by the
            calculated wavelengths of the transitions identified by Biemont
            and Brault (1987b) if the 3d9 5p 1F3o level common to both lies at
            48672.085+-0.015 cm-1 (instead of 48671.9 cm-1 listed in Corliss
            and Sugar, 1981)
          d When 'd' due to the large equivalent width of the primary
            identification, the secondary identification (blend) probably
            contributes only a very minute amount to the line.
          e When 'e' AlI 16750.614 A is blended with a telluric line of about
            the same wavelength and is also distorted by the large hyperfine
            splitting of the given transition (see Biemont and Brault 1987b).
Note (8): When '*' and 'a' for most transitions the LS coupling Lande factors
          of the upper and lower levels are used to determine g_eff_. For the
          levels of the 3d6 4s 6D 4f configuration g values have been taken
          from Johansson and Learner (1990). When 'a' according to Stokes
          profile calculations by Muglach and Solanki (1992) the g_eff_
          values listed here are incompatible with the observed splittings
          of these lines.
Note (9): If only g_l_ or g_u_ is available from laboratory measurements,
          the missing atomic level Lande factor is assumed to be represented
          by its LS coupling value.
Note (10): When 'a' the value was derived from Nave et al. (1994);
          'b' from the compilation by Kurucz and Peytremann (1975);
          'c' from Biemont et al. (1994);
          'd' from Biemont, Grevesse (1973).
