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

Also, conditions for existence of a critical impact parameter, which separates paths ending in the atom from those going to infinity, have been examined, and methods for its determination have been elaborated.
Results of this investigations have been applied to the theory of Stark broadening (broadening of spectral lines under the influence of collisions with charged particles), where a special attention has been paid to the adiabatic limit, and to quasistatic and impact approximations.
Modification of Stark broadening functions has been performed and it has been demonstrated that the biggest influence of path curvature on them, is in the vicinity of the critical impact parameter, which separates paths ending in the atom from those going to infinity. The change in the values of the Stark broadening functions will have the largest influence on Stark broadening parameters for lines for which, at the most probable velocity, influence of the contribution of inelastic collisions is dominant and effective polarizability large.
The application of semiempirical approximative approach for calculation of Stark broadening parameters for multiply charged emitters, has been analyzed as well, and the modification of semiclassical theory has been performed. The averaged ratio of experimental and theoretical results is 0.75 for semiempirical, 1.47 for semiclassical, and 1.04 for modified semiclassical approach
Stark widths of Sc IV spectral lines within 4s-4p transition array
Stark full widths at half maximum of six 4s - 4p Sc IV spectral lines, broadened by collisions with electrons, have been calculated for electron density of 1017 cm-3 by using the modified semi-empirical method. The results are provided for temperatures from 10 000 K to 160 000 K. They are used also to discuss the similarities of Sc IV spectral lines within multiplet, supermultiplet and transition array. Obtained results will be included in the STARK-B database which is also a part of Virtual atomic and molecular data center (VAMDC)
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

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

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

The STARK-B database as a resource for \textquotedblleft STARK" widths and shifts data: State of advancement and program of development
\textquotedblleft Stark" broadening theories and calculations have been
extensively developed for about 50 years and can now be applied to many needs,
especially for accurate spectroscopic diagnostics and modeling. This requires
the knowledge of numerous collisional line profiles. Nowadays, the access to
such data via an online database becomes essential. STARK-B is a collaborative
project between the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade and the Laboratoire
d'\'Etude du Rayonnement et de la mati\`ere en Astrophysique (LERMA). It is a
database of calculated widths and shifts of isolated lines of atoms and ions
due to electron and ion collisions (impacts). It is devoted to modeling and
spectroscopic diagnostics of stellar atmospheres and envelopes, laboratory
plasmas, laser equipments and technological plasmas. Hence, the domain of
temperatures and densities covered by the tables is wide and depends on the
ionization degree of the considered ion. STARK-B has been fully opened since
September 2008 and is in free access.
The first stage of development was ended in autumn 2012, since all the
existing data calculated with the impact semiclassical-perturbation method and
code by Sahal-Br\'echot, Dimitrijevi\'c and coworkers have now been
implemented. We are now beginning the second stage of the development of
STARK-B. The state of advancement of the database and our program of
development are presented here, together with its context within VAMDC. VAMDC
(Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center) is an international consortium which
has built a secure, documented, flexible interoperable platform e-science
permitting an automated exchange of atomic and molecular data.Comment: 4 pages, in press in Advances in Space Researc
Stark Broadening in Compact Stars: Xe VI Lines
International audienceWe will consider Stark broadening of non hydrogenic spectral lines in the impact approximation in compact stars: pre-white dwarf and white dwarf atmospheres. In order to show an example, Stark broadening parameters have been calculated, using the impact semiclassical perturbation approach for four Xe VI spectral lines. Obtained results have been used to demonstrate the influence of Stark broadening in DA and DB white dwarf atmospheres
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 the 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 the warp factor which leads to the modification of inflationary dynamics. The additional brane behaves effectively as a tachyon. We calculate numerically observation parameters of inflation: the scalar spectral index (ns) and the tensor-to-scalar ratio (r) for the exponential potential of the tachyon field
