Translation to Python format

Similar to the Kurucz list there is a program py_read_verner that can produce a line list from the Verner data. Once done then py_link can be used to link the the levels with the lines.

Data format

The data format is identical to that of produced for the Kurucz data

Python structure

Where the data is stored internally in Python

Comments

In practice we have not used these data for any Python publications. At some point early in the AGN project, NSH increased the number of lines, and generated lines_linked_ver_2.py and levels_ver_2.py. I think this was because there was a small bug which meant the oscillator strength cut that was stated was not that which was applied.
