ANNOUNCE New version of solar atlas!

["Sergei O. Naoumov" <serge physics unc edu>]

Hi!

The new version of satlas has just been released!

Satlas is an electronic atlas of the solar spectrum and targeted
primarily for astronomers who do a lot of spectral analysis work.
It is based on Gtk+ and MySQL. MySQL is used to store, manage and
provide a quick access to the data, while Gtk+ provides GUI.

Some functionality of satlas can be also accessed through the command
line.

*Features* of satlas v0.95

	- Display and browse solar spectrum in a specified wavelength
	  range.
	- Display data on the individual lines in the spectrum.
	- Using more detailed atomic information (not for all lines),
	  such as oscillator strengths, excitation and ionization
	  potentials, etc., generate inputs for WIDTH9, a numerical
	  code written to calculate abundances of chemical elements.
	  
*Features* added in v1.0
	- Search for lines through the entire spectrum
	- Measurements of the equivalent widths (this is still faulty)
	  
More detailed information and the source code along with the data can
be access from:

Snapshots are also provided! :-)))
