See https://github.com/chianti-atomic/chianti-idl/issues/12#issuecomment-2819429295. The Dere cross-sections should already match those of Fontes.
The current tolerance for differences in the free-free radiative loss is 0.5%. However, in v9 (using software version v9.4.3), the differences appear to be up to approximately 4% (see below)....
The CI should also include tests for v10 and v11 of the database, even if not all features are yet implemented. If certain tests fail, they can be marked as...
Similar to #345, better to use `self.levels` than access the raw `_elvlc` energy data directly.
In `Ion`, when accessing information about the transitions, the `_wgfa` property is often accessed directly. Instead, `.transitions` should be used (which depends on `_wgfa`). The goal here is to minimize...
This can include things like known inconsistencies with the IDL results, or yet-to-be implemented features with appropriate links to relevant issues on GitHub.
This topic guide should describe the level populations calculation, including writing out the whole equation. It should describe what terms are included in the equation, including the two-ion terms as...
The documentation should include a topic guide on the calculation of the optically-thin intensity for a given spectral line. This could also serve as a derivation for the contribution function...
The derivation of the direct ionization rate is a bit involved and the docstring for `Ion.direct_ionization_rate` is too long at the moment. This should be moved to a topic guide...
This topic guide should write out the rate equation, including in both indexed and matrix form. This should detail the processes of ionization and recombination that contribution to each level....
