The Topical Issue (TI), “Atomic spectra and oscillator strengths”, summarises the basic and primary atomic data needed in modelling a large variety of plasmas, covering radiative properties of atoms and atomic ions in different wavelength ranges going from X-ray to infrared (IR). These data find important applications in solar or stellar atmospheres and other astrophysical plasmas, and also in laboratory plasmas, such as fusion plasmas and laser-produced plasmas, among others.

The Topical Issue collects 19 papers, reflecting exchanges or collaborations between “producers” and “users” of atomic data. New developments of experimental and theoretical methods and the increasing completeness and quality of the data obtained are presented, often with the context of their potential applications. This implies precise experimental determination of spectral line wavelengths, level energies, lifetimes, oscillator strengths, hyperfine structures and Zeeman patterns. Theoretical investigations of atomic structures, with relativistic calculations of transition probabilities, collision cross-sections, as well as opacities, are also presented. The TI also includes examples of research review in astrophysics and the needs in atomic data. The community of atomic physicists carries on a constant effort to meet new requirements from astrophysics or other fields of physics, in particular by their works on heavy elements.

The Topical Issue follows the holding of the 14th International Colloquium on Atomic Spectra and Oscillator Strengths for Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas (ASOS14) in Paris from July 10 to 13, 2023, which aimed to perpetuate the purpose of the ASOS series by bringing together scientists from atomic physics, plasma physics and astrophysics for fruitful discussions.

All articles are available here and are freely accessible until 22 March 2025. For further information read the Editorial.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
