[ascl:1502.008] KAPPA: Optically thin spectra synthesis for non-Maxwellian kappa-distributions
Dzifcáková, Elena; Dudík, Jaroslav; Kotrc, Pavel; Fárník, Frantisek; Zemanová, Alena
Based on the freely available CHIANTI (ascl:9911.004) database and software, KAPPA synthesizes line and continuum spectra from the optically thin spectra that arise from collisionally dominated astrophysical plasmas that are the result of non-Maxwellian κ-distributions detected in the solar transition region and flares. Ionization and recombination rates together with the ionization equilibria are provided for a range of κ values. Distribution-averaged collision strengths for excitation are obtained by an approximate method for all transitions in all ions available within CHIANTI; KAPPA also offers tools for calculating synthetic line and continuum intensities.
