Abstract

:
The significance of Stark broadening data for problems in astrophysics, physics, as well as for technological plasmas is discussed and applications of Stark broadening parameters calculated using a semiclassical perturbation method are analyzed.

1. Introduction

Stark broadening parameters of neutral atom and ion lines are of interest for a number of problems in astrophysical, laboratory, laser produced, fusion or technological plasma investigations. Especially the development of space astronomy has enabled the collection of a huge amount of spectroscopic data of all kinds of celestial objects within various spectral ranges. Consequently, the atomic data for trace elements, which had not been of interest in astrophysics before, have become more and more important, and, since we do not know a priori the chemical composition of a star, the interest for a very extensive list of such data, as well as for the corresponding databases has been increasing, stimulating the theoretical and experimental work on spectral lineshape research.Such data are particularly needed for interpretation, synthesis and analysis of high resolution spectra with well-resolved line profiles, obtained from space born instruments in space missions like the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopy Explorer (FUSE), the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS—the Hubble Space Telescope), the International Ultraviolet Explorer and many others. Space high resolution spectroscopy has demonstrated that ionized manganese, tellurium, gold, indium, tin, chromium, ruthenium, zinc, copper, selenium, rare earths and other trace elements, which prior to the epoch of space born stellar spectroscopy had been completely insignificant for astrophysics, are present in hot stellar atmospheres, where Stark broadening is particularly significant.
In comparison with laboratory plasmas, conditions in astrophysical plasmas, where the Stark broadening mechanism is important, are incomparably more various. This broadening mechanism is of interest for astrophysical plasmas with such extreme conditions like for example the plasma in interstellar molecular clouds, with typical electron temperatures around 30 K or smaller, and typical electron densities of several electrons per cubic centimeter. In plasma of such low density, free electrons may be recombined in a very distant orbit with very large principal quantum number values of several hundreds and deexcited in cascade radiating in the radio domain. Since such distant electrons are weakly bounded with the core, even very weak electric microfields can have a significant influence.
Hydrogen, which is usually the main constituent of stellar atmospheres for temperatures larger or near 10,000 K is ionized in such amount that Stark broadening is the dominant collisional broadening mechanism for spectral lines. This is the case for white dwarfs and hot stars of the O, B and A type. Even for lower temperatures and for cooler stars of the solar type, Stark broadening may be important for spectral lines originating from highly excited atoms, where the distant, weakly bounded, optical electron is significantly influenced by weak electric microfields. This broadening mechanism is also important even for cooler stars for the investigation and modeling of subphotospheric layers.
In the above mentioned cases, when Stark broadening is of interest, the corresponding line broadening parameters (line widths and shifts) are significant e.g. for interpretation, synthesis and analysis of stellar spectral lines, determination of chemical abundances of elements from equivalent widths of absorption lines, estimation of the radiative transfer through the stellar atmospheres and subphotospheric layers, opacity calculations, radiative acceleration considerations, nucleosynthesis research and other astrophysical topics. Stark broadening is of interest for the investigation of neutron stars. The electron densities and temperatures in atmospheres of such stars are orders of magnitude larger than in atmospheres of white dwarfs and are typical for stellar interiors. Temperatures in the extremely thin atmospheric layer where the photospheric emission originates are of the order of 106–107 K and electron densities of the order of 1024 cm−3, which are plasma conditions where Stark broadening dominates.
Stark broadening data are also of interest for laboratory plasma diagnostics, laser produced plasma investigation and modeling, the design of laser devices, inertial fusion plasma and for analysis and modeling of various plasmas in technology, as for example for laser welding and piercing and for plasmas in light sources.
The most sophisticated theoretical method for the calculation of a Stark broadened line profile is the quantum mechanical strong coupling approach, but due to its complexity and numerical difficulties, it is not adequate for large scale determination of Stark broadening parameters, in particular for e.g., complex spectra, heavy elements or transitions between highly excited energy levels. Consequently, in a lot of cases, the semiclassical approach remains the most efficient method for Stark broadening calculations, which has provided the largest set of existing theoretical results.
In order to complete as much as possible the Stark broadening data important for various topics in astrophysics, physics and technology, Stark broadening parameters for a number of spectral lines of various emitters have been determined in a series of papers, using the semiclassical perturbation formalism [1,2]. The corresponding computer code was innovated and optimized several times (see the article Sahal-Bréchot et al. in this issue). Up to now, Stark broadening parameters (line widths and shifts) for spectral lines or multiplets of the following atoms and ions have been calculated and published: He I, Li I, Li II, Be I, Be II, Be III, B II, B III, C II, C III, C IV, C V, N I, N II, N III, N IV, N V, O I, O II, O III, O IV, O V, OVI, OVII, F I, F II, F III, F V, F VI, F VII, Ne I, Ne II, Ne III, Ne IV, Ne V, Ne VIII, Na I, Na IX, Na X, Mg I, Mg II, Mg XI, Al I, Al III, Al V, Al XI, Si I, Si IV, Si V, Si VI, Si XI, Si XII, Si XIII, P IV, P V, P VI, S III, S IV, S V, S VI, Cl I, Cl IV, Cl VI, Cl VII, Ar I, Ar II, Ar III, Ar IV, Ar VIII, K I, K VIII, K IX, Ca I, Ca II, Ca V, Ca IX, Ca X, Sc III, Sc X, Sc XI, Ti IV, Ti XI, Ti XII, V V, V XIII, Co I, Cr II, Mn II, Mn III, Fe II, Co III, Ni II, Cu I, Zn I, Ga I, Ga III, Ge I, Ge III, Ge IV, Se I, Br I, Kr I, Kr II, Kr VIII, Rb I, Sr I, Y III, Pd I, Ag I, Cd I, Cd II, Cd III, In II, In III, Te I, I I, Ba I, Ba II, Au I, Hg II, Tl III, Pb IV, and Ra II. In total, Stark broadening parameters have been calculated and published for 123 atomic and ionic species for 49 chemical elements, during a period of more than thirty years.
The obtained Stark broadening data have been used and cited many times for various applications and investigations. The literature where Stark broadening data might be used (as described in more detail previously) has been analyzed many times, but the set of data considered here allows examination of the purposes such data have actually been used for. This is interesting to analyze not only in order to demonstrate the possibilities of their applicability but first of all to see the needs of their principal users in order to adapt the presentation of results and plans for future investigations in accordance with the needs of consumers of such results. We will exclude from this analysis applications and citations concerning the theoretical and experimental research of Stark broadening and consider only applications in other research fields, published in international journals.

2. Applications of Stark Broadening Data Obtained by the Semiclassical Perturbation Method for Astrophysical Research

The analysis of citations of Stark broadening data obtained by semiclassical perturbation method shows that the largest number of citations is for astrophysical applications. For various investigations in astrophysics, our data for He I, Na I, C IV, Si II, Si IV, Li I, N V, Hg II, O VI, S VI, Mg I, Mg II, Ba I, Ba II, Ca I and Ca II have been used.
After hydrogen, helium has the largest cosmic abundance, so it is not surprising that our Stark broadening data for He spectral lines [3,4,5,6,7] have often been used for different investigations in astrophysics [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83]. For example, they have been used for the following astrophysical problems: non Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium (LTE) model analysis of the interacting binary Beta Lyrrae [8], research of variability of Balmer lines in Ap stars [9], consideration if Delta Orionis C and HD 58260 of peculiar helium-strong stars [10], determination of the chemical composition of two double clusters and of a loose association [11], the critical analysis of the ultraviolet temperature scale of the helium-dominated DB and DBV white dwarfs [12], the effective temperature calibration of MK spectral classes dwarf stars using spectral synthesis [13], investigation of the extreme helium star BD-90-4395 [14], the ionization and excitation of hydrogen and helium in cool giant stars [15], the constitution of the atmospheric layers and the extreme ultraviolet-spectrum of hot hydrogen-rich white dwarfs [16], interpretation of spectral properties of hot hydrogen-rich white dwarfs with stratified H/He model [17], radiative accelerations on iron [18], non-LTE radiative acceleration of helium in the atmospheres of sdOB stars [19], research of hot stars with peculiar helium and noble gas abundances [20,25], a spectroscopic analysis of DAO and hot DA white dwarfs with the investigation of the implications of the presence of helium in the stellar nature [21].

The data have been used for silicon abundance analyses for a number of A (mainly) and B type stars [85,86,87,88,91,92,93,97,99,101,103,105,106,109,110,111,113,114,115,116,117,118] but also for normal F main sequence stars [89,112].

3. Applications of Stark Broadening Data Obtained by the Semiclassical Perturbation Method for Research in Physics and for Plasmas in Technology

If we do not take into account the usage of Stark broadening data for theoretical and experimental research of Stark broadening, the applications of Stark broadening parameters obtained by semiclassical perturbation method are not as numerous as in astrophysics.

4. Conclusions

From the analysis of applications of Stark broadening parameters calculated using semiclassical perturbation method [1,2] one can conclude that principal users of such data are astronomers, using them especially for the investigation of A and B type stars, white dwarfs and hot stars in evolved evolution stages (especially PG1159 type). We note here that in white dwarf and hot pre-white dwarf atmospheres, Stark broadening is the dominant broadening mechanism in comparison with thermal Doppler broadening and for atmospherae modeling, spectra analysis and synthesis, abundance determination, radiative transfer calculation or plasma diagnostics, the knowledge of reliable Stark broadening parameters is essential. For A type stars, Stark broadening is the principal pressure broadening mechanism and often an important correction, the neglect of which may introduce serious errors, especially in abundance determinations. For B-type stars, especially for later types, Stark broadening may also be a non-negligible correction. The most used data are for spectral lines of He I and Si II. Concerning plasmas in physics and technology, the most frequent applications concern laser produced plasma, and the most used data are Stark broadening parameters of Zn I.
In order to make the application and usage of Stark broadening data obtained using the semiclassical perturbation method easier, the here analyzed data are displayed online in the STARK-B database [230], which is part of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre—VAMDC [231].
