摘要

The unresolved transition array (UTA) model of atomic spectra describes the lines in a configuration-to-configuration transition array with a single feature that conserves the total strength as well as the energy first and second strength-weighted moments. A new model is proposed that uses a relatively small detailed line-by-line calculation together with the extant variance formula to generate a series of Gaussians to describe the transition array. This partially resolved transition array (PRTA) model conserves the known array properties, yields improved higher moments, and systematically accounts for initial level populations. Numerical examples show that the PRTA model provides excellent fidelity to line-by-line methods using only a small fraction of the computational effort for the full calculations.
