ATOMDB Downloads
Coming Soon: 2.0.0
The new version of AtomDB (v2.0.0) is almost ready for beta testing and release. To be kept up to date on progress, please register your email address with us here. Otherwise, see the current/older release information below.
Current Version: 1.3.1
Each release of the ATOMDB contains the following files:
- The most up-to-date version of APED, including all publicly available energy level, radiative transition, and electronic collisional excitation files.
- A spectral calculation from APEC using this version of APED
- Release notes, describing the changes made in the new release and any caveats about it.
In an effort to keep users informed on the progress of ATOMDB development, we now ask that you register via this form.

In addition, we have created a number of utility routines that read and manipulate the ATOMDB, including IDL routines that can read the files and create model spectra. These can be downloaded here:
Both Sherpa and XSPEC can now read spectral files created by APEC. The APEC output routines are a separate library, called fitsspec, available here for those potentially interested in creating their own spectral output files. Please contact us if you are interested in using these or need any help with them:
