Atomic Spectra Viewer

Observed emission lines from the NIST Atomic Spectra Database — 143,786 lines across 549 species. Pick up to three elements; scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset.

DATA CAVEATS Wavelengths are passed through from a legacy ASD scrape; its air/vacuum convention is unverified (ASD default: air ≥ 200 nm, vacuum below) — treat sub-pm comparisons accordingly. Relative intensities are per-species and source-condition-dependent: stick heights are log-normalized within each element band and are not comparable across species. Provenance: data manifest.
