Scientific paper

Stark broadening parameters of C II lines were determined within 3d-nf series using semiclassical perturbation method. The atomic energy levels needed for calculations were taken from TOPBASE as well as the oscillator strengths, which were additionally calculated using the method of Bates and Damgaard. The both results were compared and only insignificant differences were found. Calculations were performed for plasma conditions relevant for atmospheres of DQ white dwarfs and for a new type of white dwarfs, with surface composed mostly of carbon, discovered in 2007 by Dufour et al. The aim of this work is to provide accurate C II Stark broadening data, which are crucial for this type of white dwarf atmosphere modellisation. Obtained results will be included in STARK-B database (http://stark-b.obspm.fr/), entering in the FP7 project of European Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center VAMDC aiming at building an interoperable e- Infrastructure for the exchange of atomic and molecular data (http://www.vamdc.org/).
