Scientific paper

The evolution of atomic spectroscopy as a central part of astrophysics is reviewed. The beginnings of laboratory astrophysics and the birth of theoretical astrophysics are examined. The way in which theoretical physics, including quantum theory, improved the accuracy of astronomical models, the acceptance of calculations of transition probabilities by astronomers, and laboratory astrophysics since the end of World War II are discussed. Several spectra are presented, noting their importance to astrophysics.
