spectrum v2.77c
Version 2.77 now computes the Na I D lines in the "strong lines" routine. Please ensure that the line list you use does not include the Na I D lines. Feb 27, 2018
June 24, 2021: A minor correction was made to the codes for ABUNDANCE and BLACKWELL, as both those codes used the value log(N_H/N_Total) = -0.0405 instead of the value in stdatom.dat, which is -0.0360. That will result in a difference of about 0.004 in the abundances if you are using column 6 in the output for ABUNDANCE. This correction was incorporated in version 2.77b.
July 22, 2021: A minor correction was made to the code for SPECTRUM increasing the limit for the length of a line in a line list file from 100 to 200. This correction was introduced in version 2.77c.
