Abstract
We present in this paper new and updated calculations of the ionization equ ilibrium for all the elements from H to Ni. We collected for these elements all the data available in the literature for the ionization and radiative plus dielectronic recombination rates, In particular, the dielectronic rate s have been fitted with a single formula and the related coefficients are t abulated. Our results are compared with previous works.
