ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY AT NIST - 1995

The current program at NIST to observe spectral lines of atoms and ato mic ions and determine atomic energy levels is reviewed. Results for t he doubly ionized atoms Zr III, Hg III and Dy III, which are astrophys ically important, are summarized in some detail, as are recent results for the Li-like atoms Li I and Fe XXIV. Progress on installation of a very high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer at NIST is report ed.
