Stark broadening data for spectral lines of rare-earth elements: Nb III
The electron-impact widths for 15 doubly charged Nb ion lines have been
theoretically determined by using the modified semiempirical method. Using the
obtained results, we considered the influence of the electron-impact mechanism
on line shapes in spectra of chemically peculiar stars and white dwarfs.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, accepted in Advances in Space Researc
Inflationary RSII Model with a Matter in the Bulk and Exponential Potential of Tachyon Field
In this paper we study a tachyon cosmological model based on dynamics of a
3-brane in the second Randall-Sundrum (RSII) model extended to include matter
in the bulk. The presence of matter in the bulk changes warp factor which leads
to modification of inflationary dynamics. The additional brane behaves
effectively as a tachyon. We calculate numerically observation parameters of
inflation: the scalar spectral index () and the tensor-to-scalar ratio
() for the exponential potential of tachyon field.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure, will be published in the Special Issue of Facta

Numerical Calculation of Hubble Hierarchy Parameters and Observational Parameters of Inflation
We present results obtained by a software we developed for computing
observational cosmological inflation parameters: the scalar spectral index
() and the tensor-to-scalar ratio () for a standard single field and
tachyon inflation, as well as for a tachyon inflation in the second
Randall-Sundrum model with an additional radion field. The calculated numerical
values of observational parameters are compared with the latest results of
observations obtained by the Planck Collaboration. The program is written in
C/C++. The \textit{GNU Scientific Library} is used for some of the numerical
computations and R language is used for data analysis and plots.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, based on talk presented at The 10th Jubilee

The OIV 1407.3\AA /1401.1\AA\ emission-line ratio in a plasma
Line ratio of O IV 1407.3 \AA/1401.1 \AA\- is calculated using mostly our own
atomic and collisional data. Energy levels and oscillator strengths needed for
this calculation have been calculated using a Hartree-Fock relativistic (HFR)
approach. The electron collision strengths introduced in the statistic
equilibrium equations are fitted by polynomials for different energies.
Comparison has also been made with available theoretical results. The provided
line ratio has been obtained for a set of electron densities from
cm to cm and for a fixed temperature of 50 000 K.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 2 tables. Accepted for publication in Advances in

Stark broadening of B IV spectral lines
Stark broadening parameters for 157 multiplets of helium like boron (B IV)
have been calculated using the impact semiclassical perturbation formalism.
Obtained results have been used to investigate the regularities within spectral
series. An example of the influence of Stark broadening on B IV lines in DO
white dwarfs is given.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
A new model for the structure of the DACs and SACs regions in the Oe and Be stellar atmospheres
In this paper we present a new mathematical model for the density regions
where a specific spectral line and its SACs/DACs are created in the Oe and Be
stellar atmospheres. In the calculations of final spectral line function we
consider that the main reasons of the line broadening are the rotation of the
density regions creating the spectral line and its DACs/SACs, as well as the
random motions of the ions. This line function is able to reproduce the
spectral feature and it enables us to calculate some important physical
parameters, such as the rotational, the radial and the random velocities, the
Full Width at Half Maximum, the Gaussian deviation, the optical depth, the
column density and the absorbed or emitted energy. Additionally, we can
calculate the percentage of the contribution of the rotational velocity and the
ions' random motions of the DACs/SACs regions to the line broadening. Finally,
we present two tests and three short applications of the proposed model.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in PAS
