Abstract:
CLOUDY is a large-scale spectral synthesis code designed to simulate fully physical conditions within an astronomical plasma and then predict the emitted spectrum.
Version 90 (C90) of the code takes into account changes in the atomic database and numerical methods that have affected predictions since the last publicly available version, C84. The code is widely used in the analysis and interpretation of emission-line spectra.
Subject headings: atomic processes -- ISM: abundances -- ISM: atoms -- line: formation - plasmas -- radiation mechanisms: thermal -- radiative transfer
