Title:

Assessing the Requirements for Completeness and Accuracy of Atomic
Data for X-ray Spectroscopy

Author(s):

Nancy S. Brickhouse

Abstract:

We present several examples which illustrate the application of
complete and/or accurate atomic data to problems in
X-ray astrophysics. Large efforts in both theory and
experiment since the launches of Chandra and XXM-Newton are beginning
to pay off. For example, we can now determine the opacity of
the solar corona, study episodic heating in active stars, measure the
mass of the white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable, and find the
distance from the central source to the outflowing winds of Active
Galactic Nuclei. These case studies allow us to assess the needs for
both completeness and accuracy of future laboratory astrophysics
work.
