We present extensive tables of the atomic partition function (APF) for nickel ions, Ni I - Ni X. Partition functions are given over wide range of temperature, 10^3 K < T < 10^6 K, and lowering of ionization energy (0.001 eV < LIE < 5.0 eV),…
Nuclear partition functions were calculated for a grid of temperatures from 1.2x10^10 K to 2.75x10^11 K (1<=kT<=24 MeV) within a Fermi-gas approach, including all nuclides from the proton-dripline to the neutron-dripline with proton number…
