WAVELENGTHS AND ENERGY-LEVEL CLASSIFICATIONS FOR THE SPECTRA OF SULFUR (S-1 THROUGH S XVI)

Wavelengths and their classifications have been compiled for the spect ra of the atom and all positive ions of sulfur (Z = 16). The selection s of data are based on the compilations of energy levels by Martin, Za lubas, and Musgrove in 1990, with some updating from the more recent l iterature. Wavelengths (or wavenumbers) calculated from the difference s of the energy levels are given along with the observed values for al l classified lines; these calculated wavelengths should in general be more accurate than the observed values wherever the two values differ significantly. Calculated wavelengths are also given for a number of l ines that have not yet been observed, including some important forbidd en transitions. The most complete data are given in separate tables fo r the different spectra. No limitation has been imposed on the wavelen gth range of the classified lines, except for the omission of x-ray tr ansitions in the neutral atom. Two finding lists are also included, on e for S I through S III and the other for S IV through S XVI.
