ATOMDB (http://www.atomdb.org) is a collection of uniformly-formatted atomic data for use in X-ray astrophysical spectroscopy that is used by laboratory astrophysicists, observers, and modellers. The current database (v1.3.2) includes both raw atomic rates along with the calculated X-ray spectrum from a collisional plasma over a range of temperatures and densities.
Significant improvements have been implemented in the newly released ATOMDB v2.0 of the database. In this release we have: (1) updated the ATOMDB to include many new calculations and laboratory measurements, expanding the range of ions covered and improving the quality of existing holdings; (2) enlarged ATOMDB to incorporate new types of atomic data, such as photoionization rates, absorption cross sections, and fluorescence yields; (3) enhanced existing web tools and created new tools and code libraries that can be used by the entire community to access the ATOMDB. We demonstrate the effect of the improvements to the database by showing x-ray spectra, highlighting the changes which will improve analysis of observations.
