Abstract
The program developed by Burgess for spline fitting and interpolating collision strengths can also be used to do isoelectronic fits. Instead of treating Omega(E) or Upsilon(T) one inputs an arbitrary quantity A (Z) that. is a function of nuclear charge number Z. In this way isoele ctronic atomic data can be visualised and compacted in an easy manner which allows for accurate interpolation along a sequence. Four illustr ative applications are provided.
