Scientific paper

Laboratory astrophysics measurements are being conducted to address the needs of X-ray astronomy. The measurements have produced large sets of reliable atomic data, including ionization and recombination cross sections for charge balance calculations, line lists, excitation cross sections, and dielectronic recombination rate for interpreting X-ray line formation as well. Additional experiments focus on solving specific puzzles posed by astrophysical observations, calibrating and developing new X-ray line diagnostics. In this paper, we discuss the types of data produced and illustrate how the laboratory measuremens support space missions such as ASCA, Chandra, XMM, and ASTRO-E2.
