Atomic and Molecular Data for Space Astronomy Needs, Analysis, and Availability [electronic resource] : A Selection of Papers Presented at the Joint Commission Meeting III of the 21st IAU General Assembly Held in Buenos Aires, Argentina 23 July – 1 August 1991 /

This is a very useful reference book for working astronomers and astrophysicists. Forming the proceedings of a recent IAU meeting where the availability and the needs of atomic and molecular data were discussed, the papers published here discuss existing and planned instruments for astronomical spectroscopy from earth-orbiting satellites. In particular, the atomic and molecular parameters that are, or will be, needed for analysis of the data obtained by these instruments are considered. A number of significant shortcomings in the available databases are identified. The needs highlighted will be of interest to laboratory astrophysicists, both experimentalists and theorists, who canproduce the data required. A second group of papers provides a current inventory of atomic and molecular data compilations.
