V10 is now out and there are a host of new features that need to be supported. See [the announcement and associated paper in Solar News](https://solarnews.nso.edu/version-10-of-the-chianti-database-released/). From that posting, the...
Data often need to be interpolated to a particular grid, usually in temperature space. Initially, I used [`interp1d`](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.interpolate.interp1d.html) for everything, but that function is now considered "legacy" and thus should...
Currently, the ionization potential is accessed via the property named `ip` and the equilibrium population fractions through `ioneq`. These are not particularly intuitive and are just inherited from the old...
CHIANTI version 9 introudced the `.auto` and `.rrllvl`such that the processes of autoionization and dielectronic recombination from the lower and upper stages, respectively, could be included the level populations calculation....
Currently, the dielectronic recombination rate calculations in `fiasco` is density-independent though in reality, dielectronic recombination may be suppressed at very high densities. In the IDL routines, there is a correction...
#219 added the ability to couple the temperature and density axes when computing the level populations. This should also be an option when computing the radiative loss. While the keyword...
#259 reorganized the docs to add a quick start guide which includes some code snippets. However, these have proved difficult to test because of the need to set up the...
Could be improved to provide a slightly more in-depth description of the database and maybe link to the various technical notes.
In v9.0.1 and above of the database, there are two additional files used for computing the free-free continuum: `itoh_integrated_gaunt.txt` and `itoh_integrated_gaunt_nonrel.txt`, as noted in [this mailing list post](https://groups.google.com/g/chianti/c/NWkq6BJkUWM). However, it...
`IonCollection.spectrum` needs a pretty major refactor as the logic has gotten pretty messy. Could also use a gallery example as this is something people are often wanting to do with...
